From the award-winning director of The Great Beauty, this latest film is a poetic meditation and exploration of love, duty and personal freedom.
A fictional Catholic Italian President, a retired judge, is in the last days of his presidency and admired for his integrity in office. He must sign into law a bill legalizing euthanasia in Italy, and at the same time has to consider the pardon petitions of two individuals who murdered their partners before the end of his term. This is an elegant dry comedy of grief and regret, beautifully filmed in very Roman settings. A reflexion on old age whilst looking back on a career of empty rectitude.
