A Brief Affair

Lea (Pilar Fogliati) moves through her marriage to Rocco (Adriano Giannini) with the careful attention of someone who has learned not to disturb the surface. A chance encounter with a stranger pulls her attention elsewhere, and the quiet routines that held her life together begin to shift. Ludovica Rampoldi watches the small gestures of a woman waking up, letting the camera linger on the spaces between words.
