Long Live the Bride

Rome is drenched in hopelessness. Nicola, who lives in a dark part of The Eternal City, stays intoxicated, as he is about to leave the world soon. The camera follows his journey and captures the moments he meets the city's drifters, petty thieves and immigrants who live with fear of deportation. On television, a famous American actress dressed in a wedding gown visits Italy, while various people comes and go in Nicola's world, among them Anna, a prostitute, Salvatore, who might be Anna and Nicola's son, and Sofia, a lover from 20 years earlier.
