Me, Myself and Her

Marina Baldi and Federica Salvini appear to have built a warm, durable partnership despite their contrasting personalities. Marina is open and expressive, while Federica is private and careful with her public image. Their easy harmony is challenged by the way their private lives are suddenly exposed to the world.

A routine interview leaks Marina's mention of Federica's name and profession, jolting Federica and puncturing the safe surface of their relationship. The public gaze creates pressure, suspicion, and a fear of losing control over their private life. Marina begins to see how fragile their situation has become.

Stefano, a director who has long admired Marina, offers her a lead in a comedy he wrote with her in mind. The role would mark her return to acting after fifteen years away from the screen. Federica's modest, reluctant reaction adds tension, foreshadowing conflicts over Marina's career and their shared future.

Federica reconnects with Marco, an old acquaintance she hadn't seen in years, reigniting a spark she once suppressed. The budding affair remains hidden at first, fueling a quiet distance between her and Marina. The attraction intensifies as their lives start to separate emotionally.

The affair is uncovered not by confession but by a blunt text message Marina receives, jolting her into action. She traces Federica’s steps to the next rendezvous and interrupts the meeting in a decisive, painful confrontation. The breach marks a point of no return for their relationship. The image of trust is broken and they must renegotiate what they can still be.

Federica initially attempts to meet Marina's demands, submitting to an ultimatum while trying to recalibrate their relationship. The mounting suspicion and fear of exposure push her toward a more solitary path. She leaves their shared life, briefly staying with her son Bernardo before finding a new living space.

Federica carves out independence, taking a small living space at her office and eventually moving in with Marco. The arc of her personal freedom sharpens even as the couple's bond remains strained. Meanwhile, Marina's own life becomes more precarious as she questions her choices.

Marina endures grief and disappointment as she fights to salvage her career and sense of self. She leans on her family and on Camilla, an ex-flame who has become a steady work assistant. The prospect of returning to acting lingers, but loss and fear cloud her path.

The plot thickens when Marina contemplates telling Stefano she cannot continue with the project. She foresees the fallout and the ethical costs, but the production's backers pull the plug anyway. The director is spared an awkward conversation, yet Marina must decide what she truly wants.

A dinner with Marco at Sergio’s home becomes a turning point for Federica, who feels the pull of a life she might be missing. Feeling the weight of the past, she slips away from the table and heads to Marina’s place. The encounter sets the stage for a direct confrontation between the lovers.

On Marina's doorstep, Federica admits she has been fighting a losing battle against the life she is meant to live. Marina lays bare the hurtful patterns that have driven them apart and asks for six months to see if reconciliation is possible. The request reveals both hope and fear in equal measure.

Federica senses Marina's resolve shifting and accepts the six-month proposal, but Marina suddenly retracts. In a final impulsive moment, Marina tells Federica that six months may be too long. Their choices collide, forcing them to decide how to redefine their bond.

In a charged, last moment, the two lovers come together and share a passionate kiss, signaling a renewed commitment. The future remains open, with the possibility of a reconciliation that could evolve away from their previous patterns. The film closes on a note of both hope and precariousness.
