| Synopsis |
From acclaimed filmmaker Michael Winterbottom (Wonderland, A Mighty Heart) comes Genova, an intimate familiar drama about love, loss and forgiveness, set against the beauty of the Italian costal city. Following a tragic accident, Joe (Colin Firth) decides to leave behind his home in the United States - which holds too many memories - in search of a new start. With hopes that the change of setting will help to pull his fractured family from the limbo of their bereavement, Joe relocates himself and his two young daughters to the exotic town of Genova, Italy, where he accepts a position teaching at the local university.
As Joe rekindles an old friendship with university colleague Barbara (Catherine Keener), his daughters occupy their time by attending piano lessons and exploring the labyrinth-like laneways of the old city. 16-year-old Kelly (Willa Holland) finds herself drawn into the sexy and dangerous underbelly of this mysterious new world, speeding around on Vespas and partying with the local boys, while the younger Mary (Perla Haney-Jardine), who is most clearly struggling to move past her acute emotional pain, begins to have visions of her mother wandering the streets of the scenic northern Italian town. |
