Summaries

Storyline

Giovanni and Lidia have been married for several years now and their marriage has become a functional arrangement, devoid of love--and any other emotion. They go through the motions but barely care anymore. After visiting a dying friend, their time together is filled with long silences. Lidia visits a neighborhood where they once lived but little has changed there. At a party that evening, Giovanni spends time with a beautiful woman and Lidia spends time with a playboy. The party goes on all night, and by the next morning, Giovanni and Lidia start to try to work out their difficulties. — garykmcd Unable to come to terms with the irreversible condition of a dear friend, shocked Lidia exits the hospital room in floods of tears. Her prestigious novelist husband Giovanni stays with the patient. Later that day, the couple attends an elegant cocktail party at an opulent villa in Milan to celebrate Giovanni's book publication. But Lidia, still in shock, wanders through the city's empty streets, seeking solace in their old neighbourhood. In a single day, aloof indifference and frustrating inability to make contact will inevitably expose the bitter truth: sometimes, love alone is not enough to avert a tragedy. — Nick Riganas Milan-based Giovanni and Lidia Pontano are solely going through the motions of being husband and wife. They have not explicitly stated their dissatisfaction with the marriage beyond the odd snide comment, nor have they mentioned anything to friends or colleagues. However, there has been infidelity, if not in actuality then at least in intent. They still spend much of their time together out of habit, mostly out of their apartment, to add some third-party aspect to their lives. A 24-hour period in their lives is presented. An early outing they have together this day is to visit their terminally-ill friend Tommaso Garani, also a writer, in the hospital. But a couple of Giovanni and Lidia's other joint outings are business ones, specifically to promote Giovanni's just published novel, which is just the latest in a successful career. Although several incidents will highlight the divide they are facing emotionally, the events of an evening garden party at the home of wealthy businessman Sig. Gherardini prove to be the most illuminating in showing Giovanni and Lidia's marriage in its current state. — Huggo Successful author Giovanni and his wife Lidia visit their dying friend Tommaso in the hospital. After that, Giovanni goes to a promotion party for his new book while Lidia visits their old neighborhood in Milano. They meet back at home and decide to visit the party of a billionaire who wants Giovanni to write a book about the history of his company. Both have flirtations and they both notice this fact as events take them into the morning. — Stephan Eichenberg
