Synopsis
Jep (Toni Serville) is a writer who made a name for himself 40 years ago in the 1970s with an award-winning novel. It’s the last one he ever wrote.
Now 65, Jep is a man-about-town, attending parties, many thrown on his own terrace overlooking the Coliseum. Weary of his lifestyle and haunted by his passionate youth, he wonders – will he ever take up his pen again?
