Monica is losing her memory. According to the doctor, it’s Korsakoff syndrome, and it’s irreversible. But what does irreversible mean? Isn’t it a release to restore meaning to things by borrowing the memories of another Monica, the great Monica Vitti? Isn’t it liberating to replace her, rather than completely erase herself? Perhaps, this new opportunity can constitute a form of “reversibility” to the protagonist; it’s difficult to say the same for her husband, Edoardo, who is deeply in love with Monica and decides to support this new state of things despite of himself.
Roberta Torre’s film is a sweet delirium of interiors: Alba Rohrwacher gives body and soul to a non-character entirely based on disguises and overlaps. By chasing a ghost, the protagonist can perhaps paradoxically find a new life.

After studying Philosophy at the University of Milan, Drama at the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Arts, and Film Direction at the Civica Scuola di Cinema Luchino Visconti, she moved to Palermo in 1990, where she shot her first short films, including Angelesse (1991), Il teatro è una bestia nera (1993) and Verginella (1996). Success came with Tano da morire (1997), presented at the Venice Film Festival, where she won the award for Best First Film; the movie was also honored with two David di Donatello awards. Her other films were presented again at Venice as well as at Cannes and at Locarno. She has had extensive experience as a writer and theater director; since August 2025, she has been the artistic director of the Teatro Luigi Pirandello in Agrigento.
