”The Ties” has been called the European answer to last year’s acclaimed ”Marriage Story”. The drama is also the first Italian film in 11 years to have the honor of being the opening film at the Venice Film Festival – a spot that has for a long time been taken by American films such as ”Gravity” and ”La La Land”.
In this emotional drama, we get to follow Aldo and Vanda in their marriage, which is hurt by Aldo’s infidelity, but they decide to stay together though the love is gone.
