The Best Years

Another entry in the ongoing cinematic project of pretending Italy has a nostalgic setting that isn't just stone steps and emotional outbursts. Four friends stick together from the disco era to the smartphone age, weathering life's usual hits and misses. It’s less about the passage of time and more about how well you can cry while hugging in slow motion.
