The Man Who Loves

"The film traces two significant, successive and opposite love stories of the almost forty year-old pharmacist Roberto (Pierfrancesco Favino). One is with Sara (Ksenia Rappoport The Unknown Woman) a hotel desk manager in Torino, while the other is with Alba (Monica Bellucci), a chic art gallery curator. Roberto envies the romantic success of his beloved, gay younger brother Carlo (Michele Alhaique) who is deliriously happy with lover Yuri (Glen Blackhall), but can’t find the right emotional groove himself. The game of love has Roberto assume opposing roles in his own relationships, experiencing both the sweetness and cruelty of love, and ultimately love’s own revenge." (Italian Film Festival 2010)
