Following the exceptional success of Manual of Love , Director Giovanni Veronesi does an encore, in the form of four new episodes featuring a stellar cast: the hero of EROS is a young paraplegic madly in love with his female physiotherapist; Maternity traces the tragicomic odyssey of Franco and Manuela, a young couple forced to resort to artificial insemination to have a child; The wedding tells of Fosco and Filippo, a gay couple that goes to Spain to be married; in Extreme Love , fifty year-old Ernesto, tired of the marital routine, is swept away by his passion for a much younger woman. The link between all four “chapters” is a radio broadcast hosted by DJ Fulvio on the topic of love.
