      From Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paolo Sorrentino comes a monumental and deeply romantic story of a lifetime. Parthenope (Celeste Dalla Porta), born in the sea of Naples in 1950, searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters (including the lonely American writer, John Cheever played by Gary Oldman). A Felliniesque meditation on youth, beauty, freedom, and the ephemeral nature of all three, questioning what deeper meaning and fulfillment can be found in a life so often informed by external realities.
