Overview

With his family mired in financial troubles, Domenico moves to Milan, Italy, from his small town to get a job in lieu of furthering his education. A lack of options forces him to take a position as a messenger at a big company, where he hopes to receive a promotion soon. There, Domenico meets Antonietta, a young woman in a similar situation as himself. The two form a tentative relationship, but the soulless nature of their jobs threatens to keep them apart.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A tender portrait of young ambition meeting institutional indifference, where two adrift souls find brief connection within the grinding machinery of corporate Milan. It moves with patient, observant melancholy through the small humiliations and quiet hopes of starting adult life.
