Carlo Cecchi

An appraiser gets caught up in a soul-wrenching moral conflict in this tale of mystery and obsession across the centuries-old life of a violin.

A stylistically dazzling and ambitious Italian adaptation of Jack London’s autobiographical novel about a self-taught and outspoken working-class writer who climbs the ranks of society.

Francesco and Marta are married, and they run a small design company in Rome. When Francesco's long forgotten aunt, Anita, dies in Istanbul, he travels there to look after the sale of the hamam he inherited. There, he meets the family who runs the hamam, gets attracted to one of them and to the whole Turkish atmosphere, and so he decides not to sell the hamam.
