In Toronto from 7 to 17 September, Italian cinema will not be lost either: after all, Edoardo Gabbriellini’s “Holiday” will be among the world premieres. The synopsis for the project, also produced by Luca Guadagnino, is as follows:
Veronica, after a long trial and two years in prison for the murder of her mother and lover, is found not guilty. He is only twenty years old and has his whole life ahead of him, but it is difficult to look into the future when all eyes are still on that tragic event. Through the memories of her and her best friend Jada, we rewind the tape of a story that the more it advances, the more unsettling it becomes.
