Polifemo

Chloe and Alessandro are two 30-year-old, longtime friends living together in a large apartment. Chloe works for a culinary recipe publisher, while Alessandro is an up-and-coming painter. Although their friendship is strong, they have very different approaches to relationships. Chloe is constantly searching for her Prince Charming, while Alessandro, living openly as a gay man in a small town, navigates life with maturity despite the challenges. Their dynamic shifts when Roberto enters their lives. The three become inseparable, each learning from the others: Roberto sheds his bigotry, Chloe finally finds happiness, and Alessandro is content seeing them both fulfilled. But their balance is tested when Chloe finds out she’s pregnant.

In the past few days Rome has been the scene of a singular event: when it rains, the manholes exhale a dense steam whose origin and composition is unknown. No one can imagine that whoever breathes in the mysterious substance will have to deal with what he/she represses, their darkest instincts, their anger. Not even the Morel family.
