This is a classic romantic comedy-oferrors full of surprises where dreams become reality. Inspired by the Brazilian film A Mulher Invisível (2009), Alessandro Genovesi’s latest offering tells the story of Claudio (Claudio Bisio, Welcome to the South, LIFF11), a hopeless romantic and high school teacher, whose life is shattered when his wife leaves him for another man. Claudio finds an unlikely friend in Paul, a former lazy student turned physical education teacher, who will do anything to help get Claudio out of this crisis. Just when it seems Claudio will never emerge from his despondent state, something unexpected happens: the beautiful and seductive new neighbour Silvia knocks on his door. Claudio’s life begins to look up again thanks to Silvia. She appreciates him and all the little romantic gestures he loves doing for her. She’s the perfect woman who lounges around the house in lingerie and loves football! But Silvia has something to hide…
