A couple from a provincial town leads a rather repetitive daily life, until their daughter leaves home to attend university. Presented today in the Horizons section at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival, A Story marks the directorial debut of Anna Foglietta with Alba Rohrwacher and Guido Caprino, and will arrive in theaters on September 24 via BIM Distribuzione. Written by the same Anna Foglietta with Tania Pedroni and Matteo Ferri, the film is an intimate narrative that “traverses the emotional passages that redefine the bonds within a family and the balance of a couple’s life”.
Erika and Mauro live in the province, within a simple daily routine made of reassuring habits and small gestures. When their daughter Irene leaves to study far away, the house empties and the balance on which the couple has built their existence seems to crack.
We spoke about A Story with the director, Anna Foglietta, and the stars, Alba Rohrwacher and Guido Caprino, in this video interview.
