WATCH: Gay Italian Period Film ‘Nuovo Olimpo’ Releases Dramatic Official Trailer

Nuovo Olimpo

Netflix has released the dramatic official trailer for the Italian gay romance film ‘Nuovo Olimpo.’

The two-and-a-half-minute trailer for the movie has been unveiled featuring Damiano Gavino and Andrea Di Luigi.

The trailer shows Enea (played by Gavino) and Pietro (played by Di Luigi) meeting in their 20s and finding out that they have an electric chemistry. They fall in love even though they live in an era in which discrimination against LGBTQIA+ people was at an all-time high. That, combined with the political turmoil in Italy at the time is the reason why their relationship is cut short. Years pass and Enea and Pietro cross paths with one of them a successful filmmaker now.

The trailer suggests that the story will have two distinct parts, the first showcasing their romance in their youth and the second, showing the filmmaker’s portrayal of their love story in the present.

Watch the dramatic trailer below:

The official synopsis for the film said “Late 70s. They are young, beautiful, and just 25 years old. They meet by chance and fall madly in love. But an unexpected event separates them. For thirty years, however, they chase the hope of finding each other again because they still love each other.”

‘Nuovo Olimpo’ is directed by the Turkish director Ferzan Özpetek. He rose to prominence after directing dramas like Loose Cannons, Steam: The Turkish Bath, Red Istanbul, and Facing Windows. Just like in his previous films, Özpetek co-writes the script, this time with his long-time collaborator Gianni Romoli (His Secret Life). 

Netflix premieres Nuovo Olimpo on November 1.
