Synopsis: |
Indifferent and seductive, Rome offers itself up to the astonished eyes of tourists; it is summer and the city shines with a beauty that is elusive and definitive.
Jep Gambardella is 65 and his character emanates a charm that time has not ravaged.
He is a successful journalist who flits between culture and the high life in a Rome that never ceases being a sanctuary of wonder and greatness.
Behind the decadence and decay of reality,
the city continues to preserve a hidden and sometimes desperate beauty.
