SONATA (2019)

SYNOPSIS
Our movie is inspired by the novel “The Kreutzer Sonata”, by L.N. Tolstoy.During a train travel, a middle-aged man, who lost his wife because of the circumstances that love brought to him, gets involved in a conversation about love and relationships with other passengers. Contrary to popular belief, he defends the thesis that love is not a poetical and pure sentiment, such as the other interlocutors naively think. While he talks about romanticized male-female acting models, which are typical of a patriarchal society, he supports his thesis by giving examples from his marriage, with a series of flashbacks. He narrates the events, which led to his wife’s self-standing and death.
