Saturno contro

Saturno contro is a 2007 Italian drama film directed by Ferzan Özpetek. The Turkish title is Bir ömür yetmez. The U.S. title is Saturn in Opposition and had its U.S. premiere at Frameline in San Francisco on 20 June 2008. Saturn in Opposition is the story of a group of very close friends in Rome and how they cope with the sudden death of one of their members. The original group, who have been together for many years, are two straight couples, Antonio and Angelica and Roberto and Neval; and a gay former couple, Davide and Sergio. Relatively new additions to the group are... Davide's current lover Lorenzo and Lorenzo's friend Roberta. Early in the movie a final member is added to the group: Paolo, an acquaintance of Lorenzo and Roberta. Although the members of the group love each other and spend much time together, there are tensions both within the group and within the three couples who make up the group. Antonio and Angelica seem to be a perfect couple, but their two young children are clearly dysfunctional, and Antonio is carrying on a secret affair with a florist. Roberto feels like an outsider, because while Neval is a core member of the group he is not.
