Movie propaganda

Having in one momentous summer's day rescued a woman from drowning and simultaneously lost his wife, Pietro's (Nanni Moretti) life is changed in a moment. One morning he drops his adorable young daughter at school and spontaneously tells her he will wait until she returns. He sits in his car, wanders in the park and has coffee at a nearby café. And so he does, surprisingly to all, day after day. Pietro's friends, family and colleagues come to visit him in the park, only to have their own dramas melt away in the face of Pietro's invincible calm.

Theatrical report

Gee, it sucks to find your true-love, get married, have kids and then become a widower. I've done none of those things so I didn't have much empathy for Pietro; I'm not much into denial, either. Still, Nanni Moretti had a good go at getting me to like him.

The drama, Italy movie Quiet Chaos (Caos Calmo) is directed by Antonio Luigi Grimaldi and stars Nanni Moretti, Valeria Golino, Alessandro Gassman.
