STREAMING (NOV 4–11)
Once a luxurious mansion, Villa Primic has seen better days, and has gotten too expensive to maintain. Once their two children agree, Rose (Margherita Buy) decides to move forward with the sale over Valerio’s (Massimiliniano Gallo) wishes. Valerio struggles to convince Rose and their children to keep the house, but his attempts to stop the sale reveal that he may not know his loved ones—or even himself—as well as he thinks he does, and that everyone in this quirky, bittersweet comedy will have to learn how to move on.
