''Tommaso'' is a 2016 Italian comedy-drama film written by, directed by and starring Kim Rossi Stuart. It was screened out of competition at the 73rd edition of the Venice Film Festival. Plot After a lengthy relationship, Tommaso manages to get away from Chiara, his companion. Now waiting for him - he thinks - is endless freedom and countless adventures. He is a young, handsome, kind and romantic actor, but he perpetually swings between elan and resistance and soon realizes he is only free to repeat the same script: in short, he is a "ticking bomb" on the road of the women he meets. His relationships always end in the same painful way, between unspeakable thoughts and paralyzing fears. This repetition compulsion is one day finally interrupted and within him it generates an absolute void. Tommaso is now alone and has no more escape: he has to confront that moment of his past when everything stopped. Cast *Kim Rossi Stuart as Tommaso *Cristiana Capotondi as Federica * Camilla ...
