“Even the escapades of a single night have their poetic side, and it was nice to tell the story of this encounter without having to imagine their future together”, explains the director, class of 1982, who has just finished filming another film in the United States, Monolith, a sci-fi thriller that also centres around a car. Because whilst they intend to end the evening back at her place, it’s also true that in some areas of Rome, finding a parking space on a Friday night is practically impossible.

And so begins a sort of road movie through the streets of the capital: the pair get in the car, and stay there for the entire film, right up until the break of dawn. We don’t know their names, but she is played by Matilde Gioli, the revelation of Human Capital by Paolo Virzì, whilst he is played by Matteo Martani, who we saw in La felicità è un sistema complesso and will soon see at Cannes in the cast of Redoubtable by Michel Hazanavicius. A girl approaches a guy in a club, provocatively sips from his glass, and asks him to take her home. Whilst the original took place in chaotic Tel Aviv, here the setting is Rome, on a Friday night.
