Cinema Italiano: A Better Way to Stay Home is back with The Time of Indifference, the highly anticipated third feature film by Leonardo Guerra Seràgnoli, based on the homonymous masterpiece by Alberto Moravia – Gli Indifferenti.


The Ardengo family - Mariagrazia and her children Michele and Carla - despite the bourgeois appearance, live beyond their means relying on Leo, a greedy businessman and Mariagrazia’s lover. The man’s intention is to take advantage of her recklessness to seize the only asset left to the family: the beautiful attic in which they live. To prevent Leo’s plans, the family falls apart and all members must face their own demons. Carla, the 18yo daughter, surprisingly, is the only one to react, stand tall with her head high, and eventually, finally shake the entire family from their long-standing indifference.
