L'amore ritrovato

a film by :Carlo Mazzacurati

Tuscan, 1936. Giovanni Mansani is 30 years old with a good job as a bank clerk, a wife and a small kid. His life flows on without worries or anxieties yet without any deep emotional involvement. One day, during one his daily journeys as a commuter to Livourna, the place he used to live when he was young and where he just got a new job, he bumps into Maria at the train station. She is brunette. She used to be blond. He doesn't recognise her immediately. He lets her go, dumbfounded. Then the memories come back : the sea, the dunes, the pine trees, his love of youth. Giovanni manages to see her again and gives her a date, on the beach after work. She has been with many other men. It shouldn't be difficult to convince her again. Maria yields to Giovanni's advances. For Giovanni the whole matter is over. But then Maria gives him an other date.

French Synopsis :

Toscane, 1936. Giovanni Mansani a 30 ans, une bonne place dans une banque, une femme et un petit garçon. Sa vie s'écoule sans angoisses et sans tourments mais sans émotions profondes. Un jour, alors qu'il fait la navette en train pour se rendre à son nouveau travail à Livourne, la ville où il habitait lorsqu'il était plus jeune, Giovanni retrouve Maria, par hasard, sur le quai de la gare. Elle est brune. Elle était blonde. Il ne la reconnaît pas tout de suite. Il la laisse partir, interdit. Puis les souvenirs lui reviennent, la mer, les dunes, les pins parasols, son amour de jeunesse. Giovanni s'arrange pour la revoir et lui donne rendez-vous sur une plage après le travail. C'est une fille qui a connu beaucoup d'hommes. Il devrait être facile de convaincre à nouveau. Maria se donne à lui. Pour Giovanni, le chapitre est clos. Puis Maria lui donne un autre rendez-vous.
