Michele is a Communist MP who loses his memory in a car crash—although nobody seems to notice. Over the course of a water polo match ahead of election day, he begins to remember his past life, revealing the picture of a man whose personal and political identity crisis mirrors the one of Italian communism.

Abandoned by his wife, who leaves him their child, Michele, a former '68 student protester with little going on in his life, struggles to be a good father. In the meantime, he spends his time acting in an experimental theater company directed by his friend Fabio.

Pietro is a successful businessman with a wife and a daughter. One day he helps his brother save two women from drowning at the beach. When he returns home he finds that his wife has died. Now Pietro has to take care of his daughter, Claudia. When he drives her to school soon after, he decides to wait for her all day in front of the school, and soon that's what he does every day.

2018 film directed by Nanni Moretti

Onetime campus radical Nanni Moretti (who also directed this film) renounces his past to become a priest. Returning to his home village, Moretti is appalled at the lack of religious reverence amongst the townsfolk. Unable to communicate with any of his old friends, who've all gleefully succumbed to the Deadly Sins, Moretti cannot even count on solace from his own family, a screwed-up aggregation which gives the word "dysfunctional" several new meanings. The priest finally gives up on the village and transfers to a parish far, far away.

A psychoanalyst and his family go through profound emotional trauma when their son dies in a scuba diving accident.

Nanni Moretti recalls in his diary three slice of life stories characterized by a sharply ironic look: in the first one he wanders through a deserted Rome, in the second he visits a reclusive friend on an island, and in the last he has to grapple with an unknown illness.

一部名为《Close Up》的伊朗电影即将在意大利上映，意大利导演兼策划人南尼•莫瑞提（Nanni Moretti）全程参与推广，事无巨细，事必躬亲。从报纸上的宣传广告到影院服务电话，从放映机的投射角度到不同类型观众观影心理。紧张忙碌的生活让他茶饭不思，寝食不安，甚至在睡梦中惊醒。然而商业片大制作当道的今天，有谁会去关注一部不知名导演的小作品？《狮子王》、《四个婚礼一个葬礼》赢得票房胜利，南尼似乎也可以安然睡个好觉了……
