Synopsis
"Breaking Up in Rome" (Lasciarsi un giorno a Roma, 2021) is available to watch online on iFILM — an Italian-Spanish romantic comedy written and directed by Edoardo Leo, who also takes the lead role. Tommaso earns his living writing a relationship advice column under a pen name. Nobody knows it's him. Nobody, until the next letter in his inbox.
The sender turns out to be Zoe, his girlfriend of ten years — quietly asking a stranger how to leave the man she loves without hurting him. Meanwhile, Tommaso's friend Umberto is dealing with a different kind of impasse: his wife Elena is the Mayor of Rome, the power balance at home has completely reversed, and Umberto cannot make peace with that. Two couples, two slow-motion collisions, and neither side can quite bring itself to say the obvious thing.
Stream "Breaking Up in Rome" (2021) on iFILM — a comedy lighter in tone than it is in subject, carried by sharp ensemble work from Leo, Marta Nieto, and Claudia Gerini.
