ROME – One night, a phone, a journey, a life to save. Barbara Ronchi and Claudio Santamaria are the protagonists of ‘Non riattaccare’ (freely based on the novel of the same name by Alessandra Montrucchio), the new film by Manfredi Lucibello which arrives in Italian cinemas on 11 July with I Wonder Pictures. In the silence of an anonymous night, Irene’s phone rings. It’s Pietro, her ex. Irene hasn’t heard from him for months, since their story ended, she hesitates, but in the end she answers. Pietro is beside himself and his confused words suggest a desperate act. Irene just has to travel, to a ghostly city, without ever hanging up, with the hope of reaching him in time.
