It's the protagonist's daughter – tired of seeing her father, champion of an unstoppable descent into singledom – who decides to send the fatal message. And like zombies rising from the tombs of love, some of his former partners incredibly respond to his appeal, causing the harmless frustration of an adolescent to turn into a time machine. For Leonardo, barricaded in a fort of laziness, flitting between the sofa, spring rolls and computers, it will be an exciting and fun journey into the past and the present.

Filming will take place entirely in Tuscany for seven weeks between Prato, Borgo San Lorenzo, Scarperia, Lago di Bilancino, and in the area of Mugello. Written by Leonardo Pieraccioni along with Filippo Bologna Se son rose was produced by Levante (the director's company) with Medusa Film and will be released in Italian Cinemas on 29 November, distributed by Medusa Film.
