Synopsis A poignant tale set in Rome and Bologna during the 1920s, Il cuore altrove tells the story of a 35 year old language professor, Nello Balocchi (Neri Marcore), who comes from a long line of Papal tailors. His timidness around women prompts his father (Giancarlo Giannini) to send him to Bologna, to teach at a high school, in the hope that living in such an emancipated city will enable him to finally find a wife, thus providing the family with its much awaited heir.

On reaching Bologna, Nello goes to live in a pensione where he shares a room with a Neapolitan barber, and thanks to his advice, he gradually gets to know the fairer sex. By chance or providence, Nello finds himself at a tea dance in a home for blind women. There he meets ‘femme fatale’ Angela Gardini (Vanessa Incontrada), the most beautiful and open-minded young woman in all Bologna, who turns his life upside down.

Pupi Avati’s sumptuous directorial style is evident in every scene.
