Cyr@no.org

Forty-year-old Marco, married to the daughter of the owner of the advertising agency where he works, loses everything overnight because of a whim: having a romantic encounter with Lia, who lures men online to make ends meet, getting them to pay for her expenses and then running away immediately afterwards. Marco feels something for her that goes beyond sex; perhaps he is in love with her. When he asks a nerdy friend for a place to stay, he realises he has a rare gift: he knows how to use words. So he turns it into a lucrative business, becoming a modern Cyrano for lonely people looking for companionship, sex, love, and humanity, searching for someone to connect with. But Lia is still on his mind, and one day he meets her again...

Directed by Andres Arce Maldonado, Cyr@no.org leans on a strong ensemble — Igor Mattei, Giorgia Fiori, Lorenzo Carcasci — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
