Overview

An evening at an Italian restaurant hosted by tolerant and relaxed Flora, various middle-class parties enter – large and small, young and old, regulars and tourists, married and single – to dine, converse, argue, celebrate, make confessions; to eavesdrop, to interrupt, to sing, listen to music, and enjoy life.

How It Feels

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

An affectionate, roving observation of human life unfolding across one evening in an Italian restaurant, where strangers and regulars alike reveal the small joys, disappointments, and connections that fill an ordinary night out. It's a gentle, unglamorous portrait of how people actually behave when they think no one important is watching.
