The Ties

I don't understand how the rating of the film can be so low (when I'm writing this review the rating is only 5.3), so I decided to write my first review just to give it a little shout-out.

The plot actually seems already heard: the two protagonists Aldo (Luigi Lo Cascio) and Wanda (Alba Rohrwacher) are a middle-class couple from the 1980s with two children. The family routine will be upset due to Aldo's infatuation with Lydia (Linda Caridi), who will induce the man to leave his family to go and live with her in Rome.

Lacci has a cast of excellent performers, and, far from being a perfect film, it move us and it invites us to reflect on the masochism of which some people are victims, in relationships but also towards life itself. Give it a chance!
