Synopsis
Well-to-do, sophisticated couple, Elsa and Michele, have a 20 year-old daughter, Alice, and enough money for Elsa to leave her job and fulfill an old dream of studying art history. After she graduates, however, their lives change. Michele confesses he hasn't worked in two months and was fired by the company he founded years ago. Elsa overcomes her initial shock by pouring extra energy into facing the crisis while Michele, exhausted by an unsuccessful job hunt, lets himself go, alternating between vivacity and apathy. The growing distance between them eventually leads to a break-up. Only when they apart will they realize that they risk losing their most precious possession: the love that binds them.

Jeff In Seattle - Customer Review
This little gem from Film Movement shows the effect of a couple which suddenly lost its main source of income. We see Elsa and Michele trying to cope and make ends meet. In the process their relationship deteriorates. Once they see past their material wants/needs trying to maintain their lifestyle, they realize that their love for each other is more important. This situation pretty much reflect the current economic issues on a personal level in most western countries, including USA. This film could potentially have viewers facing similar relationship brought on the financial loss. A great job by director Silvio Soldini and actors Margherita Buy and Antonio Albanese! I have seen Margherita Buy in her previous films and she continues to impress me with her acting abilities.
