Antonio is a 30 year old family man, whose life finds an unexpected twist when he's suddenly dumped by his husband, whom he depends both psychologically and economically: he needs to find a new place to stay, a job and a new purpose in life. Antonio finds a room in an apartment owned by Denis and starts to work in a bakery owned by Luca, while attending pastry school. Through this process he discovers that it was wrong of him to give up his independence for the sake of his relationship in the past.

mascarpone feels refreshingly mature in how it lets each scene unfold… especially for a rom-com. it avoids big emotional explosions and conflicts don’t build toward dramatic climaxes, but instead settle into something more recognizably human every time.

what’s most surprising is how it gently subverts the “hollywood” rom-com formula. Rather than pushing the story into something more predictable or conventionally “pleasing,” the film consistently chooses the more understated route, allowing everyone (yes, even Antonio) to behave like actual people.

I refuse to believe that this endless line of random hookups is gay culture.

Okay let me be honest with you. It's kinda scare me. Wym 12 years of relationship can just end up like that? Wym your lover suddenly saying that he feel bored and had found someone new after a fucking 12 years of relationship? Damn, romance can be that scary. But, I am so glad that this movie showed me that you can always start a new life even after the real fucking heartbreak which made you don't know what to do with your life. It's clearly said go find new people, new experience, new hobby and especially go find yourself again. Find something that you really wanna do in this life, something you love. I love the way this movie said that life doesn't end at your 30. But I don't like the idea "go fuck around" like it shows in this movie. That's so wild.. yeah the movie itself is kinda wild ahahaha. However, I also love the way this movie showed us that "fucking around" will never fill the void in your heart.
