In a Swiss hotel, an Italian businessman named Titta Di Girolamo sits silently, alone in the window of the café as he's done every day for eight years. So what, exactly, is he doing? The glittering, must-see Consequences Of Love stars Toni Servillo as the mysterious 50-year-old resident. He sits apart, impeccable and impenetrable; he smokes and he waits. And so do we - but not for long as Signore Girolamo has secrets everywhere.

In the style of director Paolo Sorrentino's film, the plot will have to remain in the dark - it unfolds itself with such elegance that it would be a crime to give anything away. Even the genre remains a mystery for almost an hour - and then plays out with a brilliant flair for the unexpected.

Okay, so this site has little to do with this film but it just goes to show what can bubble beneath the most tightly controlled surface. And admit it, after watching this little film you'll want a good laugh.
