The film tells the story of the life and secrets of Saverio Crispo, a "Latin Lover" (played by Francesco Scianna). Saverio was Italy's most beloved movie star of the Golden Era and a prolific ladies' man.
To mark the anniversary of his passing, his five daughters from relationships with five different women gather in his hometown to piece together the puzzle of the man they've known only as an icon.
The international cast features Almodóvar veterans Candela Peña, Lluís Homar, and Marisa Paredes, and especially poignant turns from three-time David di Donatello winner Valeria Bruni Tedeschi (Human Capital) and the late Virna Lisi (Queen Margot) in her final screen appearance.
