Alice and Tommaso have been together for fifteen years; they don’t have children, he‘s a musician, she’s an actress. Invited to dinner for an announcement, their friends think it’s going to be a marriage announcement, but instead discover that decided to break up: but without drama or emotional rifts, staying friends with each other. A legitimate but naive ambition. Love stories end, because people change. And no change is, nor can it be, painless.
Directed by Stefano Sardo

The film was conceived about 10 years before its production and is based on the autobiographical novel with the same name written together by Stefano Sardo and singer-songwriter Valentina Gaia, which recounts in diary form the crisis and end of their 17-year-long romantic relationship. The shootings of the film started in Rome in October 2020.
The film had its premiere at the 78th Venice International Film Festival, in the Giornate degli Autori sidebar. It was theatrically released in Italy by Ascent Film on 13 September 2021.
The film has been described as "a beautiful and delicate first work imbued with the love for storytelling and music."
