Giulia Doesn’t Go Out at Night

"Director Giuseppe Piccioni (The Life I Want, Light of My Eyes) returns with a compelling new story of love, drama and intrigue, starring luminous international star Valeria Golino.

"In true Piccioni fashion the narrative orchestrates an encounter between two people who would not normally meet, resulting in a love story with little chance of succeeding. Giulia (Golino) teaches at a swimming pool. One of her pupils is the young daughter of Guido (Valerio Mastandrea), a married and successful writer. While his latest book has been selected as one of the five finalists for a prestigious literary prize, he grapples with feelings of futility about his profession. When they meet at the pool, the enigmatic and passionate Giulia immediately intrigues an introverted Guido, who is drawn by her grace and finesse in the water. Giulia, however, initially keeps her distance as she is harbouring a dark secret." (Italian Film Festival 2010)
