    I like something in this movie.

    This movie includes a sex scene which is very nice... They must cut the scene from the movie and must make a new movie that is with better story and includes that scene.

    Very good drama

    This film deals with a brother and his half sister that grow attracted to each other. It is Italian and I view it with the English subtitles. Still, I viewed the entire movie and followed the drama to the end. It seemed to end suddenly in my opinion. The main topic is taboo buy North American standards. Much like first cousins being sexually attracted to each other. Each person will have to make up their own minds if they are willing to tolerate this type of story. I found the acting to be good. I found the actors to be likable and the story to be entertaining. I think the sets and production was good. This is a quiet night movies for adults with grown up minds.

    They are related

    Boy, has a crucial basic detail about this film been misunderstood! To be absolutely clear: Méte and Belinda ARE related. They share the same biological father, but have different mothers, so they're half brother and sister. Not step siblings, as some reviewers on here have mistakenly concluded.

    Admittedly it's a subtlety easily missed, particularly if you're watching this with subtitles as a non-Italian speaker. But no, contrary to what some reviewers have said, this isn't just Méte's father re-marrying another woman who has a daughter of her own; he's marrying the woman he's been having a long term relationship/affair with. The timeline, roughly, is that Méte's father left Méte's mother when Méte was young, and had a 20 year affair with Virna - the product of that relationship is his 17 year old daughter (and therefore Méte's half-sister), Belinda. This is spelled out in the dinner scene with Méte and Virna (Belinda's mother), where she says that she's loved Méte's father for 20 years, and that Belinda takes after her father. I think the part that confuses people is that Sergio and Virna are getting married, and so people assume it's a "step family", missing the fact that Belinda is Sergio's child as well. It's implied that after the 20 year affair, they're only now getting married because Méte's mother has died.

    Anyway, sorry to go into such detail on this point, but so many reviewers on here have got this fundamental aspect wrong that I think the record really does need definitively correcting.

    As for the film itself...it's an entertaining comedy drama, very stylishly shot and with an attractive cast. The taboo aspect adds an extra frisson of tension - and is definitely part of the film, despite some people thinking it isn't!

    The future is now

    If you are interested in this because of the supposed taboo ... well relationship that may or may not be ... consumed ... well let's just say that this is a drama rather than a wet dream (or nightmare, depending on where you stand on the issue).

    Furthermore as I'm certain others may have explained too: this is not as taboo as you may think or some may have made it to be. First of all the actress was an adult at the time of shooting and supposedly even if she was 17, her future step brother 19 (so no blood relation to begin with - not even a tiny bit) - not something that would be criminal in any sense. And since there is no blood relation there is no other crime here either - if anything was to come of the whole thing. Hypothetically speaking ... still there is more than just a whiff of awkwardness flying around.

    Having said that, there is also an interesting subplot with Asia Argento who looks lovely as ever ... and plays another broken character - which also is something to be expected. If you are aware of certain things and don't expect this to be anything this is not (see above, only a little bit of nudity) ... the movie actually delivers.

    Contrary to summary and other reviews these are unrelated people, who are future STEP siblings not "half" siblings

    I cannot believe that the reviewers seem to be following the erroneous plot summary. The two siblings in this film are not related at all when they "get together."

    They are age of consent offspring of two completely different sets of four parents. At the time of the getting together they are not related whatsoever, and even after their parents marry, they are just STEP kids, no blood relation whatsoever. One is 17 and one is 19 which is full age of consent in Italy.

    This a light-hearted, and at best. Average comedy, where the relationship is AWKWARD -- but not anything like incest. For example it would be legal for these two "siblings" to marry in every US state and in every European country as well as Canada or Australia.
