Things We Don't Say

2026 · 114 min

A slow, talky unravelling of long friendships and a marriage under quiet strain, more uncomfortable than explosive.

Directed by: Gabriele Muccino
Genres: Drama
Starring: Stefano Accorsi, Carolina Crescentini, Miriam Leone

Overview: Carlo and Elisa are a successful couple. He’s a university professor and writer facing a creative block; she’s a brilliant, sharp-witted journalist, known for her internationally published editorials. They live in Rome, moving between accomplishments and routine, affection and something that might be fading. In search of new energy, they travel to Morocco with their lifelong friends, Anna and Paolo, and their thirteen-year-old daughter Vittoria—bright, curious, a little eccentric. Tensions soon rise.
