Synopsis
Calopresti's debut feature chronicles the psychological legacy of the 'years
of lead' in Italy, the 1970s of the Red Brigades. Nanni Moretti plays
Turinese professor Alberto Sajevo, who suffers blackouts from the terrorist
bullet still lodged in his brain. One day Sajevo recognizes the terrorist
who shot him 12 years earlier. Lisa Venturi (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, in a
career-defining performance) is out on work furlough from her 30-year prison
sentence. He is shocked to realize that Venturi doesn't recognize him, while
for Sajevo their first encounter is the source of all his isolation and
obsession. In a twist oddly tinged with romantic tension, he sends her
flowers, then confronts her in public. When she asks him what he wants,
Sajevo replies, "For you not to forget."
