Synopsis

The train whistle signals the beginning of a new day for Lea. As she smokes a cigarette on her balcony, she has no idea whether the train is leaving or arriving at the station, and perhaps she doesn't even care. She enjoys the silent charm of the morning before returning home and beginning her usual daily routine: Lea has a lover and a husband, and she loves them both. Pierre's diary is bulging with tickets, postcards, and photographs. When he looks away from the window of the train carriage that's taking him to the border, he leafs through it. A photo of a girl captures his attention and transports him back to a time gone by. Rita arrived at the station at night and remained there for a long time, waiting for someone who never came to take her away. Now, however, she has reached her destination, but nothing shines through her green eyes, except a thorny and impenetrable character. What invisible thread ties the lives of Lea, Pierre, and Rita? Where do their lives almost magically intersect? Maria Sole Tognazzi, screenwriter and director, weaves a singular, atypical plot with characters driven by a fate that overwhelms them. In "Ancora," the power of time and love intertwines with memory and insinuates itself into the characters' stories.
