About the film: Seconda Primavera
Seconda Primavera, "Second Spring", represents a new season of passion. The stories of four characters, each from a different generation and background, intertwine. Andrea, a 50 year-old widower, encounters the young Hikma, who reminds him of his wife. After Hikma's involvement with Riccardo, who is married to Rosanna, Hikma's family relationship is compromised. Befriended by Andrea, a second spring emerges at his beautiful, seaside villa.
