Description
A luxury spa hotel in the Swiss Alps serves as the tranquil backdrop for an unforgettable evening of reminiscence and introspection. Two octogenarian friends, Fred Ballinger and Mick Boyle, reflect on their eventful lives as composer and film director amidst a colourful gathering of fellow guests. As they look back, trouble brews beneath the surface. Personal and professional challenges loom large, threatening to upend the carefully constructed facades of their lives. A poignant exploration of friendship, love, and the complexities of human relationships unfolds in this thought-provoking novel. Paolo Sorrentino's masterful storytelling weaves a nuanced portrait of two men navigating the twilight years of their careers and personal lives.
