I am scared and happy" Archibugi says.
The film will be distributed in Italy by 01 Distribution, while international sales are being handled by Fandango Sales, which will begin pre-sales negotiations in Cannes.

It is the story of the life of Marco Carrera, "the Hummingbird", a life of fatal coincidences, losses and absolute loves. The story proceeds according to the strength of memories that allow us to shift from one period to another, from one era to another, in a liquid time that goes from the early 70s to a near future. It is by the sea that Marco meets Luisa Lattes, a beautiful and unusual girl. A love that will never be consumed and will never go out, for a lifetime. His marital life will be another, in Rome, together with Marina and his daughter Adele. Marco will return to Florence thrown away by an implacable destiny, which subjects him to very hard tests. Protecting him from the most violent collisions will find Daniele Carradori, Marina's psychoanalyst, who will teach Marco how to welcome the most unexpected changes of direction. (HANDLE).
