Guido (Filippo Timi), a former cop, is a luckless veteran of
the speed-dating scene in Turin. But, much to his surprise, he meets Slovenian
immigrant Sonia (Ludovica Rappoport), a chambermaid at a high-end hotel. The
two hit it off, and a passionate romance develops. After they leave the city
for a romantic getaway in the country, things suddenly take a dark turn. As
Sonia's murky past resurfaces, her reality starts to crumble. Everything in her
life begins to change—questions arise and answers only arrive through a
continuous twist and turn of events keeping viewers on edge until the film's
final moments.
Edgerton can be seen on the big screen now in Baz Luhrmann's
The Great Gatsby while Michelle Williams recently starred in Sam Raimi's Oz The
Great and Powerful.
Joshua Marston (Maria Full of Grace) will write and direct
the remake with Silver Reel Entertainment and Lotus Entertainment financing and
seeking a buyer at Cannes.
