Based on the memoir of the same name, She Still Talks to Me (Lei Mi Parla Ancora) tells the love story of Nino and Caterina — an elderly couple married for 65 years. When Caterina passes away, Nino’s world falls apart, and their daughter — Elizabeth — desperately tries to help her father overcome his grief. Elizabeth enlists the help of Amicangelo — an aspiring writer — to write out Nino’s memories of his late wife. Amicangelo finds himself infatuated by Nino’s love story — despite clashing with his personality.
Set in 16th century Florence, artistic genius Michelangelo Buonarroti is emotionally and physically depleted by his inability to complete the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Despite the acclaim of his contemporaries, Michelangelo struggles with poverty as he attempts to complete commissions by two rival royal families. He is progressively tormented by hallucinations, often contemplating his moral and artistic failings. Sin portrays Michelangelo not just as a Renaissance legend but as a deeply flawed man.
