Synopsis:

Sasha, the 20 year-old son of drug addicts, meets Nicole, a 40 year-old ex-psychologist housewife with marital problems, when their cars crash in the middle of the night and they discover a dog has been hurt in the accident. At the veterinarian hospital, they feel a mutual platonic attraction and exchange phone numbers, but don't talk again for many months. Meanwhile, Sasha falls in love with a girl he met at the rehab community where he grew up. When Nicole calls Sasha to check on the dog, she also gives him advice on how to seduce the girl and Sasha finally wins her over. Much time passes before Nicole contacts Sasha again, but when she does, she finds out Sasha's girlfriend has been a bad influence, leading him to play poker and run with a bad crowd. Both Sasha and Nicole realize they cannot live without the other.

Twenty-year-old Sasha grew up in Borgo Fiorito, a drug rehabilitation centre, far from real life. Here he met Benedetta who is the daughter of one of the external benefactors and the same age as him; inevitably, he falls in love with her. Now, having reached adulthood, Sasha leaves the community for the first time. He has only one thing on his mind: Benedetta. Nicole is a woman in her forties. Beautiful, intelligent, ironic, she married Lorenzo and has done all she can to forget her past, repressing her feelings and removing any possibility of change. But life takes over, forcing Sasha and Nicole, who were involved in a terrifying car accident, to be discovered and reveal themselves to one another, for who they are. And while Nicole helps Sasha to seduce Benedetta, life starts to unfold and dominate. Without rules. Without control. With no respect for plans or dreams.

A case of serendipity extends itself over many years in Italian director Silvio Muccino's bittersweet romantic drama Parlami d'amore (Let's Talk About Love). Aitana Sanchez-Gijon stars as Nicole, a quadragenarian housewife in a supremely dysfunctional marriage, and Silvio Muccino is Sasha, the twenty-year-old son of a drug-addicted mother and father; the pair meet when their cars crash one fateful evening and they accidentally injure a dog in the process. Taking the canine to a veterinary hospital, the two strangers sense a latent attraction to one another and swap phone numbers but (for unspoken reasons) refrain from calling each other for a lengthy period of time. In that interim, Sasha becomes unwisely attracted to a low-class girl with barrel-bottom standards; unacquainted with the young woman, Nicole offers Sasha advice that helps him win the girl's heart. In time, however, the new girlfriend drags Sasha into heavy gambling and unsavory company, and Sasha and Nicole subsequently begin to realize just how perfect the two of them are for one another.
