From NetFlix:

After years of putting it off, Elsa (Margherita Buy) finally
returns to school to pursue her art history degree. But her
newfound academic bliss crumbles when her husband, Michele
(Antonio Albanese), loses his job and the duo is forced to
sell their gorgeous flat. The ensuing financial strain soon
takes a surprising toll on their marriage in director Silvio
Soldini’s intimate domestic drama, shot in beautiful Genoa.

Most of this Italian film is a downer. Considering the times we live in, the story of an Italian losing his job and the necessary downsizing is really the story of everyman. Of course, for the most
part, in Italy you own an apartment instead of a house. Economic hardship is a strain on
every family and the usual question here is: can this marriage survive ? Again, watching this
film reminds me how glad I am to be retired and not constantly threatened by layoffs. I wish
the husband had not reacted so badly, but I understand his position. Just so you won’t be
put off too much, from an emotional standpoint the film has a happy ending.

Not for those low in spirit.
