A hundred years since the birth of Marcello Mastroianni and 120 years since the passing of Anton Chekhov.

One of Mastroianni’s finest performances, where he portrays a poignant man at the prime of his life, with subtle humor shining throughout.
Both humorous and heartbreaking, this love story about a selfish Italian man is inspired by four short stories written by a Russian author Anton Chekhov, including “The Lady with the Lapdog.”
