Una fottuta bugia (2024)

Pietro was an child prodigy in the showbiz. Now that he is almost 30, he is no longer either a child or a prodigy. Pietro is now spending his life taping for auditions he never gets. He teaches theatre at a church close to his house and, following his precarious finances, he lives in a modest flat owned by the diocese for which he doesn't pay much. He shares the flat with Nicolas, an hospital nurse, divorced, a wife and a son to take care of, a chaotic and careless personality. That's why when they receive an eviction note, Nicolas avoids the issue by stating that Pietro has cancer. It is the start of an awful lie. Pietro lives the issue helplessly but then, when he is about to tell the truth, he meets Claudia, a terminally ill girl. Even if weakened by her disease, Claudia gushes life from every pore on her body. She is extroverted, lovely, deep, smart, happy to the extent that Pietro is completely dazzled by her and cannot find the courage to speak his truth. The lie made up by Nicolas becomes the unbreakable bond between Claudia and Pietro. A double link that unites them by making them completely different than all the others. A bond that Pietro, even if tormented by guilt, cannot give up.
