A young woman participates as a volunteer in a research on the perception of reality. As she goes through the final stages of the experiment with a peculiar companion, her fascination increases with each step, feeding her intrigue about the final outcome.

While she faces the tough idea of breaking up with her boyfriend, Emilia moves to a downtown apartment. Among boxes and packed stuff, almost by chance, she starts living the life of the former tenant.

Two women meet for a job interview that spills over into an intimate dialogue that encompasses their secret loves, fears, and dreams. Filmed entirely in a single shot and over the course of a single conversation, this one-of-a-kind indie won Best Argentine Film and Best Argentine Director at the 2013 Mar del Plata Film Festival.

Some of the lines that run across Italian Romantic are the things we see and are whisked away, sounds, the murmurs and music of a city, the seductive walk of a woman –the beautiful Camila Toker–, the silent desire of a man filming and chasing, the local people of a beach resort and their counterpart, the tourists. Cinema within cinema, like an endless Russian doll. Shot during the last Mar del Plata Film Fest, the film’s images range from close-ups of the woman giving a ghostly interview to her love flings as she goes through the city sharing her experiences. A great compilation of the things driven by the experience of watching, making, and feeling films, either from inside or outside of it, as protagonists, directors, or spectators.
