Malanova

Directed by Roberto Cuzzillo

Matteo and Riccardo, a couple about to celebrate six months together, have their romantic plans shattered when Matteo receives devastating news - he’s been diagnosed as HIV positive.
Malanova is a modest Italian drama about desire, secrecy and the social judgments surrounding unconventional relationships. Roberto Cuzzillo keeps the tone serious, and while the film is small-scale, its emotional directness gives it some weight.
