Synopsis:

Gina and Marco are living in the suburbs of Rome. The two meet on a very special day: their first day at work. They have a future that awaits them and really seems at hand. Gina is about to realize her dream of becoming an actress, while Marco for the first time has found an opportunity that allows him to start dreaming: a job in a car rental company as a driver. They are enabled to know each other since his first duty is to drive Gina to an appointment, and given a delay, they have to share the whole day. This journey will take them from the periphery to the center of the city, will serve both to compare their experiences and think about a future that has already begun...

A Special Day is Francesca Comencini's latest film produced by Palomar in 2012 and was in competition at the 69th Venice International Film Festival. Gina and Marco are very young and determined to become 'someone'. They meet one morning in some mystified Roman outskirts. She has an appointment with a politician that could put in a good word for her to enter the show business world, he is the driver that is supposed to accompany her to the meeting. It is the occasion they were both waiting for. The first day of work. The chance to enter the adult's world. But nothing goes as planned. The politician, busy in a parliamentary session that keeps prolonging, postpones the meeting numerous times leaving Gina and Marco in an awaiting limbo that will soon turn into a special day. A day that will drive them from the outskirts to the heart of the capital, during which time the two get to know each other. Still, the immediate future is lurking and ready to get them. Right when Marco and Gina have unmasked, entering each others skin, forgetting everything - even that meeting that just a couple of hours before seemed so crucial to both of them - the long awaited phone call arrives, falling like a brick on their heads. Later, when Marco drives Gina home, the night has fallen and so has silence between them. Their lives have changed.
