Metti una notte

In the whimsical comedy Metti una notte, released in 2017, we follow Martino, a young entomologist grappling with a romantic crisis, as he returns to his vibrant hometown of Rome. His plans quickly take a turn when his beloved uncle enlists him to babysit his friends' daughter, Linda. Accompanying Linda is her quirky grandmother, Lulù, whose eccentricities spark a series of misadventures that add to Martino's already chaotic evening. Just as he begins to navigate this unexpected caregiving role, a phone call from Tea—a past love who finds herself in a precarious situation—adds urgency to his night.

As Martino embarks on a quest to rescue Tea, the film blends humor with poignant moments of self-discovery and familial bonds. The trio's escapades through the enchanting streets of nocturnal Rome reveal not only the city's beauty but also the complexities of love and relationships. With Lulù's unpredictable antics and Linda's innocent curiosity, Martino is thrust into a whirlwind of chaos that forces him to confront his feelings about love, responsibility, and the connections that shape his life. Metti una notte is a delightful exploration of how unexpected encounters can lead to personal growth and the realization that sometimes, the journey is as important as the destination.
