Under the scorching Roman sun of the 1970s, L'immensità unfolds a story of family, gender identity, and societal transformation. Clara, a passionate Spanish expatriate, grapples with the cracks in her loveless marriage to Felice, a cold and philandering businessman. Their eldest child, 12-year-old Adriana, wrestles with a different kind of struggle: a deep-seated clash with her assigned gender. Rejecting her name and femininity, Adriana embraces the identity of Andrea, yearning to be seen and recognized as a boy.As Andrea navigates a world that denies their true self, they find solace in an unlikely friendship with Sara, a Romani girl who understands the sting of being an outsider. Together, they forge a bond built on shared experiences and a yearning for acceptance. Meanwhile, Clara, trapped in a suffocating marriage, struggles to protect her children from the emotional turbulence swirling around them.Life takes a sharp turn when Felice's infidelity brings the family to the brink of collapse. Andrea, overwhelmed by the chaos and confusion, seeks refuge in fantastical escapes, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.L'immensità is a nuanced portrait of a family in flux, navigating the turbulent waters of change. It explores the immense love that binds mothers and children, the complexities of gender identity, and the enduring human need for belonging. It's a film that lingers long after the credits roll, prompting reflection on the fluidity of identity, the resilience of the human spirit, and the immensity of love in the face of adversity.
