Baci e abbracci
Paolo Virzì
Francesco Paolantoni, Massimo Gambacciani
A failed restaurant owner on the brink of suicide is suddenly treated with extreme deference and kindness by a group of strangers who host him in their home, no less! Truth is they have mistaken him for the government agent they were waiting for and treat him well only to get allowance for their floundering ostrich-breeding business.

Napoleon and Me
Paolo Virzì
Daniel Auteuil, Monica Bellucci
Elba island, 1814. Martino is a young teacher, idealist and strongly anti Napoleon, in love with the beautiful and noble Baroness Emily. The young man finds himself serving as librarian to the Great Emperor in exile, whom he deeply hates, yet soon begins recording Napoleon's memoirs, getting to know and learning to value the man behind the myth. Among seductions and affairs, expectations and fears, he will craft a precise portrait that nevertheless will not manage to hide a final, inevitable, disappointment.
