To escape from his overbearing parents, 14-year-old Lorenzo bunks off a school skiing trip and spends a week hiding out in his building’s neglected basement, watching films, reading books and playing with his ant farm. But when his older half-sister unexpectedly turns up they are thrown into a new, deeply emotional relationship, forcing Lorenzo to see the world through new eyes.
Harking back to his earlier work, as well as that of the French New Wave, the intimate drama from celebrated, multi award-winning master director Bernardo Bertolucci (The Dreamers, The Last Emperor, Last Tango In Paris, The Conformist) is a sensitive, insightful and alluring portrayal of sibling relationships.
