A young but established professor from the University of Bologna finds himself mixed up in a difficult investigation.

While they are ponderously traveling through Italy the new Italian government sign the armistice with the Allies: everything will change in Italy, also for our three travelers.

Comedy. 70-year-old Sandro, a soap opera actor on the decline, attempts suicide on Christmas eve. His three daughters rush to their father's aid from all corners of Europe. They decide to take care of him, organising a dinner to present him the right woman.
The Lark Farm (2007)
The Armenian genocide in 1915 provides the background to the story of the Avakians, a well-to-do Armenian family, as they prepare for the homecoming of family members from abroad. But the planned family reunion never takes place: the men are murdered and the women deported on a forced march. However, the women find a protector in a young Turkish officer who has fallen in love with one of the Avakian daughters.
Apnea (2005)
At the age of 35 and after a brilliant career in fencing, Paolo is a sports journalist living inVicenza . A friend of his and also ex champion fencer dies from a heart attack. He was a contractor for an industrial project in that same province. Paolo is suddenly aware that his friend was not well liked by those around him. He wants to clear his bad name but will soon find out that his dead friend was hiding a dark side-even his untimely death no longer seems clear.
Night Bus (2007)
Not to be confused with Kiumars Poorahmad's 2007 Iranian feature of the same title, Davide Marengo's Italian-language crime comedy Night Bus (2007) concerns a microchip with potentially damning evidence against a Polish magnate. An ex-secret service agent, Carlo Matera (Ennio Fantastichini), receives an enormous sum of cash from the fellow to bring the chip home, but it falls into the mitts of a cutthroat nightclub owner, Andrea (Ivan Franek). He is hustled, in turn, by the femme fatale at the story's center, Leila (Giovanna Mezzogiorno). She walks off with the dough, and must subsequently evade a host of seedy goons and thugs all clamoring for the funds, meanwhile attempting to use a gullible, gambling-addicted bus driver, Franz (Valerio Mastandrea), for a convenient, cross-country getaway.
Secret Journey (2006)
The reconstruction of a criminal, tragic event and, parallel to this, the reconstruction of a life. To act in this reconstruction is Leo, a psychoanalyst in his forties who, to protect a secret, must face a difficult journey to Sicily. This is a journey of return, since twenty-five years before, he had fled from there with his younger sister Ale. This journey becomes the possible, lucid reconstruction of the crime that suddenly suspended their childhood, the story of their family.
The Dark Sea (2006)
The girlfriend of Detective Luca Mocci moves from the house of her friend Charlotte to live with him. When the corpse of the upper-class escort and student Valentina Martini is found in an apartment, tied and beaten after a kinky sex, Detective Mocci becomes obsessed with his investigation in the underworld of sex in his city, arising dark desires and affecting his relationship with his girlfriend.
The Ball (2006)
Raul is a 12-year-old boy, happy and certainly mature for his age. He lives with his mother Monica, whose love life is puzzling and distressing. She's the lead singer in a strange orchestra, called Orfeo, founded by her father, Raul's grandfather. The boy goes to her concerts and sees her suffering because of the sad endings to relationships with the wrong men. He can't cope, he just doesn't understand it. He'd like to give her a hand, and that means finding the right man, who could be music teacher Medri. Raul embarks on a number of clumsy attempts to set up a meeting between his mother and the teacher. Not even this affair will end happily, but it'll enable Raul to understand an important life lesson.
