Andrea Di Stefano’s L'ultima notte di Amore is set in a frenetic Milan, dominated by night darkness where daylight never filters in.
Its main character, the police officer Franco Amore (Pierfrancesco Favino), finds himself handling a homicide on the evening of his last day at work, while friends and colleagues wait for him to arrive at the retirement party that his wife Viviana (Linda Caridi) has organized at home. Franco has served the state for 35 years with pride and fairness, his honesty and integrity transpires from his retirement speech. Yet, the events of that long night could turn everything on its head.
The opening night-time sequences of the helicopter show a little seen version of Milan: the city appears from above in all its grandiosity, alternating light and shade. It offers glimpses of the squares of the centre and the places of history, the monuments and buildings that represent its contemporary nature, before flying over the most anonymous of suburbs. From the iconic gargoyles of the Duomo and the roof of galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in piazza della Repubblica with Torre Breda, past piazza Gae Aulenti with its modern skyscrapers and “vertical forest” to an indistinguishable tangle of streets that intersect geometrically, edging the city. Franco must quickly find his way through this frenetic chaos to track the person responsible for killing his friend and partner Dino (Francesco Di Leva), his death linked to diamond smuggling. At risk is his own future.

Milan. On the night before his retirement, after 35 years of honourable service without so much as a shot fired, Lieutenant Franco Amore sees his world turned upside down. But maybe it is the world around him that has changed, from day into night. His wife is much more aware than he that life is a matter of making compromises and that sometimes tough decisions have to be taken.
