Ten Winters

Italian/Russian romantic comedy charting the decade-long relationship of two friends who secretly harbour romantic feelings for one another.

"Student Camilla (Isabella Ragonese, Golden Door) leaves home to study and takes up residence in a semi-derelict house in an overcast Venice. On the last leg of her journey - a ferry to her island – she's spotted by a would-be Romeo, Silvestro (Michele Riondino, The Past Is a Foreign Land). Silvestro follows Camilla to her home and manages to insinuate himself as a guest for the night, but fails in his gentle efforts to seduce her. Over the next ten years Silvestro and Camilla develop a strong bond, and the narrative beautifully captures the bittersweet push and pull between two souls who keep finding their way back to each other."
