IFF Trust

Daniele Luchetti’s highly anticipated and star-studded new film, TRUST - part psychological thriller and part relationship saga – follows a stormy love affair and a web of secrets, set to a moody soundtrack by Thom Yorke of Radiohead.

The aging Pietro (Elio Germano) is about to receive a presidential award for his essays on teaching. His former student Teresa (Federica Rosellini), now a distinguished professor herself, is to deliver the commendation speech at the ceremony. However, the two are former lovers who, one night long ago, shared their greatest secrets with each other, and now Pietro fears that his devastating secret may come out.

In his latest drama based on Domenico Starnone’s novel of the same name, Daniele Luchetti ('The Ties', IFF21) presents a sweeping tale about a relationship in which dangerous liaisons unravel across multiple timelines. All the while, he asks: Can we really trust anyone? Featuring an exceptional all-star cast, Trust is a complex and sophisticated study of human behaviour, loves and fears.
