Rome, summer. One night, unexpectedly, a total blackout leaves the city without electricity. People feel paralyzed, their world is dipped in darkness. Matteo is a young electronic music producer big fan of Chemical Brothers and Daft Punk. He’s composing the songs of his new album. In a single moment, he loses all his work on his computer. Crushed by the lack of electricity and ensnared on his habits, Matteo finds an entirely different dimension of himself and everything around him thanks to the encounter with Greta, his neighbor from next door, who’s writing a novel inspired by this emergency.

Absolutely loved it! The story kept me engaged from start to finish, and the visuals were breathtaking. One of the best I've seen this year.

While the film has its moments, it falls short in some areas. The pacing is uneven, but the strong performances make up for it somewhat.
