Synopsis

Parthenope, born in the sea of Naples in 1950, searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters. From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime. This tale is a no-holds-barred exploration of the relentless pursuit of freedom, the insatiable love for a city with countless faces, and the myriad forms of love itself - some uplifting, some destructive, some kept secret. Parthenope is surrounded by the vibrant, fallen, and ironic souls of Naples, tragically beautiful in their despair. In Competition, Cannes Film Festival. 15 David Di Donatello Nominations, including for best film, director, actress, actor, original screenplay, and cinematography.
