Nessuno si salva da solo is a major motion picture directed by Sergio Castellitto, starring Jasmine Trinca and Riccardo Scamarcio
“Harshness as a form of moral expression.”
Tuttolibri
“A masterpiece on the deterioration of perfection.”
Corriere della Sera
A timeless drama, No One Survives Alone is the story of a summer night in which a tumultuous couple embark anew on their roller-coaster of love and disaffection. It is a brave and unflinching novel that gives pitch-perfect voice to the profound predicament of modern love, with all its routines, resentments, and transgressions.
Delia and Gaetano are no longer together. Gaetano lives in a hotel while Delia remains at home with their two young children, Cosmo and Nico. Delia and Gaetano are young as well: older than thirty, but not yet forty, and when they meet for an al fresco dinner in Rome they consider the possibility of reuniting, starting over together again. At the same time, they are disconcerted by the familiarity between them, and seduced by the unknown. What went wrong? Who are they now, and what should they do with their entangled lives? Neither the passion that marked the beginning of their togetherness nor the rage that precipitated the end has entirely subsided.
