The Fiances

Olm's tale is of 2 Milanese young adults living in post WWII Italy. There's not much to do but to hangout at the local dance hall were the men try to get lucky. The beautiful Liliana is shy and pure. Giovanni is pensive and impatient. When Giovanni decides to take a job promotion which requires him to relocate, Liliana is despondent. Giovanni, pragmatic. The deed is done. The new industrial workplace is barren, lonely, and desolate. Through a series of letters the two lovers, especially Giovanni, realize the beauty of their relationship. Remindful of both Fellini and Antonioni, just when we desire a happy ending, the last scene of a tremendous rainstorm casts the likelihood of a fulfillment to their happiness as an unlikely probability.
