Annabelle, 25 ans, aime faire l'amour avec Richard, 50 ans. Ce désir, aussi fort qu'inexplicable ne lui suffit pas. Un soir, elle rencontre Luca, jeune comme elle, avec qui elle espère enfin trouver sa place. Elle partage avec lui les rêves que Richard ne lui a jamais permis: les sentiments, l'illusion d'un amour plus pur. Mais Luca n'a jamais les mots, jamais les gestes qu'il faut. Et puis il y a la ville, comme Richard, qui la prend, la happe, la fascine...

1984 film by Francesca Comencini

The film recounts Carlo Giuliani’s day of July 20 and, parallel to it, the July 20 of the march of the ‘disobedients’, or the ‘white overalls’, among whose ranks Carlo died. An individual’s story is told in all its absolute concreteness, the friends he meets, the snack bar he goes to for a bite, the roll of scotch tape he picks up on the street; whereas a multitude’s story is told in all its epic tragedy, the night under the rain, the colossal preparation against the march, the advance behind shields, the attack of which the multitude was victim, the defense that gets organized.
