This film tells the story about the American opera singer Caterina and her son Joe. After her husband's death, Caterina and Joe move to Italy, where they also were when Joe was a little child. Joe's and Caterina's relationship is complex and while Caterina tries to win back her son's love stepping over healthy boundaries, Joe set into drugs. The film subtly but powerfully portrays an unhealthy mother-son relationship.
Jill Claybury's acting as Caterina is extraordinary, but also Matthew Barry as Joe is quite real in his part. The film is very sensual and has a beautiful visual simplicity. I found it hard though to really identify with the characters, maybe due to the very visual storytelling style. I also had a vague feeling that the story didn't really finish.
