Nice, without the finale you’d expect if you’ve never seen it. Nice film, good. Slow, but that’s a given. There’s Troisi in it, which means repeated sentences, slow scenes.
Tommaso and Cecilia are together. On their anniversary they make love but at a certain point he moans Elena, or so it seems, and she gets mad. He denies knowing any Elena, and she storms out. Then there’s a Raùla that he tells her doesn’t exist. Cecilia thinks he keeps lying to her. Amedeo, who works with Cecilia at the bookstore, tells him that lies kill love. Tommaso insists he did not say Elena and he has nothing to do with any Raùla.
Chiara, Amedeo’s younger sister, comes onto him but he calls her little girl, tells her no and leaves. Next time they see each other, she puts poison in his coffee.
Cecilia is always angry and unhappy, and her mom tells her to leave Tommaso, to erase him, and she tries. She leaves him by telling Amedeo while Tommaso is still hospitalised. They were about to get married. When his friends tell him they saw Cecilia with another man, he complains they shouldn’t have, but then when he hears she was at a party also attended by Amedeo and his new girlfriend Flora (ex girlfriend of their friend Giorgio who cried for her at Amedeo’s house when she left him), Tommaso wants to know everything is very insistent, if she was with someone else.
When later on he talks briefly with Cecilia, she tells him she’s with Enea now, and he makes her feel special, desired. She also tells him that he was spent with her, without fire, that he’s better without her.
He can’t move on, forget her.
He sees Enea and dislikes him. He finds another girl and the next morning he tells her she shouldn’t have left her ex-boyfriend.
Enea is always loud, always doing something, but soon we see she’s less enthusiastic , and one day Enea sees her with Tommaso in a private moment behind a bookshelf and is heartbroken.
Chiara sets fire to Enea’s scooter because he had called her a child.
Tommaso and Cecilia are again planning their wedding, but he feels different, he’s not in love anymore. He leaves her waiting at the altar then sends her a note and they meet at a cafè for coffee, still in their wedding clothes.
He says they’re not made for marriage, and they plan on seeing each other again.
