Sole
Directed by Carlo Sironi
Produced by Kino Produzioni, Lava Films
A morally complex character study about two self-interested strangers forced into proximity by a surrogacy scheme, who gradually discover genuine connection amid ethical compromise.
Lena is seven months pregnant and she's ready to sell the baby in her belly. Ermanno agrees to pretend to be the father. Fabio, the uncle of Ermanno, will pay them to buy the child that he and his wife Bianca cannot have. A fake adoption between relatives, a loophole to bypass the law in Italy. A world in which money is the only standard of value, the only thing that matters. Ermanno and Lena are two strangers that must pretend in public to be a couple and live together until the delivery. They are used to only thinking about themselves and they fight all the time. But living side by side they start becoming what they were only pretending to be.
