The film is based on a current event and tells the tragic love story between a fifty-year-old woman and a much younger boy.

“在意大利丰富的犯罪历史中，马蒂奥·梅西纳·德纳罗和他的30年销声匿迹是独一无二的，”导演们坚持说，“多年来的调查和报道中透露出的细节，让我们有机会深入了解他神秘的性格，并揭示他隐身存在所培育的广泛关系网络。在我们的电影中，在理性的沉睡中追逐梦想的人们，最终都陷入了悲剧而荒谬的噩梦之中。”

An absurd law prevents John, an unrecognized child at birth, from knowing the identity of his biological parents before his 100th birthday. To succeed in attracting public opinion, his only hope is to obtain the complicity of Gustavo, the only unrecognized-at-birth centenarian alive. The only one who would have the right to avail himself of this legislation but seems to have no interest in doing so. The Most Beautiful Century of My Life tells of the meeting between a centenarian projected into the future and a young man anchored in the past and of their unexpected friendship.
