Ozpetek's beautifully directed Facing Windows looks at how random incidents in the present can have unexpected links to the past and memories almost forgotten.
Giovanna has been married to her devoted husband for nine years. She carries the responsibility for the family and the strain begins to show when they come across a lost and amnesiac elderly gentleman. Irritated by her husband's softness, her fantasies of the ideal are projected onto the handsome, mysterious neighbour (Italian Heart Throb Raoul Bova) whom she watches through her window at night.
Combining elements of mystery, love and historical rumination, Facing Windows is about finding and fulfilling one's destiny. Ozpetek brings the married woman, the man in the window and the elderly stranger together, whose pasts and futures are full of surprises.
