Synopsis:

Handsome, 30-ish Mete (Andrea Bosca) has an apartment in Rome's picturesque historical center, a stimulating (if unlikely) job as a handwriting analyst and an enviable, appropriately hedonistic social life. Less felicitously, his 17-year-old half-sister, Belinda (Miriam Giovanelli), to whom he's inconveniently attracted, has just moved into his living room. As Mete's father, Sergio (Massimo Popolizio), a soccer star-turned-sports pundit, belatedly prepares to marry Belinda's mother, Virna (Spanish-Italian actress Aitana Sanchez-Gijon), the two half-siblings negotiate their problematic intimacy boundaries.

The film tells the story of an existential drama which revolves around an impossible love affair, that between a half-brother and a half-sister, and is made up of characters who are lost, tormented, aimless, against the background of a Rome that is chaotic, arrogant, immersed in its ruins and its social routines.

The trials and tribulations of attractive young Italians provide the photogenic subject for contempo comedy-drama "Drifters." Based on Sandro Veronesi's Rome-set novel, helmer Matteo Rovere's sophomore effort benefits from its media-friendly depiction of a new social group, the titular gli sfiorati - just as long as no one remembers the book was actually published in 1990.
