More About Film

In early-1980s Naples, Aldo and Vanda’s marriage faces a whirlwind when Aldo reveals an affair. He had fallen in love with the young Lidia. The couple goes through a separation, with their young children torn between their parents’ resentment. However, the ties that keep people together—even without love—play their part, and 30 years later, Aldo and Vanda are still married. Their lives are tainted by betrayal, suffering, and a devastated home. The Ties was the opening film at the 77th Venice International Film Festival.
