The Solitude of Prime Numbers

2010 · 118 min

A quiet, haunting study of two damaged souls circling each other, heavy with unspoken pain and fleeting connection.

Directed by
Saverio Costanzo
Genres
Drama
Starring
Alba Rohrwacher, Luca Marinelli, Aurora Ruffino
Overview
Prime numbers are divisible only by one and themselves. These numbers are solitary and incomprehensible to others. Alice and Mattia are both "prime", both haunted by the tragedies that have marked them in childhood: a skiing accident for Alice which has caused a defect in her leg, and the loss of his twin sister for Matthew.
