Two men meet secretly each week in an Italian flat to struggle with their feelings for each other and to wrestle.
There's quite a twist towards the end of this pretty intense drama. One man is sitting on a bare mattress in a darkened apartment whilst someone is taking a shower. He resents the limited amount of time they have together; he even turns back the hands on the other's watch. Then another man emerges from the shower and that only seems to increase the tensions. Which of them wants this relationship more? Which of them wants it at all? Then there's an even more unexpected twist that changes yet explains much of their frustrated dynamic. What's their preferred way to work out all this angst? They wrestle! It wasn't wasted on me that as they carry out their clandestine affair, a nun is hanging out her washing on an adjacent roof. What might she think if she knew what was going on behind their closed shutters? It's a snapshot of two lives, filmed quite intensely, and though it does border on the theatrical at times, it's worth a look.

In search of new energy, they travel to Morocco with their lifelong friends, Anna and Paolo, and their thirteen-year-old daughter Vittoria—bright, curious, a little eccentric. Tensions soon rise.

In New York City, a young girl is caught in the middle of her parents' bitter custody battle.
In a small suburb on the outskirts of Rome, the cheerful heat of summer camouflages a stifling atmosphere of alienation. From a distance, the families seem normal, but it’s an illusion: in the houses, courtyards and gardens, silence shrouds the subtle sadism of the fathers, the passivity of the mothers and the guilty indifference of adults. But it’s the desperation and repressed rage of the children that will explode and cut through this grotesque façade, with devastating consequences for the entire community.
"Loro", in two parts, is a period movie that chronicles, as a fiction story, events likely happened in Italy (or even made up) between 2006 and 2010. "Loro" wants to suggest in portraits and glimps, through a composite constellation of characters, a moment in history, now definitively ended, which can be described in a very summary picture of the events as amoral, decadent but extraordinarily alive. Additionally, "Loro" wishes to tell the story of some Italians, fresh and ancient people at the same time: souls from a modern imaginary Purgatory who, moved by heterogeneous intents like ambition, admiration, affection, curiosity, personal interests, establish to try and orbit around the walking Paradise that is the man named Silvio Berlusconi.
