Achille and Stella have been together since they were 15. At 30, with a child, a business, and a mortgage, Stella still dreams but is weary of Achille’s immaturity. One night in Rome, she meets Gil, a charming, open-minded chef, and spends the night with him. The next morning guilt overwhelms her, yet back with Achille passion rekindles. Soon, Stella discovers she is pregnant by both men—a rare heteroparental superfecundation. What seems a tragedy becomes a chance for growth, love, and self-discovery.

DIRECTOR'S NOTES:
When comedy succeeds in capturing contemporary issues, it becomes the most powerful genre for reaching people. What fascinated me about Stella gemella is its potential for offering a genuine look into our times. Stella and Achille are coming to terms with the roles that society and their parents have imposed on them, and perhaps they themselves have, as well. In the end, they learn that there exist different ways to define family and happiness. The film is a provocation that reconciles two worlds that in Italy seem to have nothing to say to each other. In the ongoing war between the sexes, women as well as men come out losers, each in search of new solutions that society hasn’t yet come up with for them.
