Hayfever takes a sweet, touching look into the lives of a group of 20-something Roman misfits. There’s an autumn breeze blowing through the Eternal City, rumored to bring bravado to shy lovers. The wind blows past Twinkled, an antique store where handsome hipster Matteo is a clerk. As he rummages through estate sales, Matteo can’t quite let go of his own past, especially his ex, Giovanna. Meanwhile, co-worker Franki rides her skateboard and writes passionate love letters to Jude Law, while shop owner Stefano has no head for business. Each of their lives is as disorganized as the store until Camilla arrives. With a beaming smile, the young woman quickly brings order to the shop—and falls head over heels for Matteo, who of course holds onto unrequited feelings for his ex.
Hayfever is a romantic film about dreamers who, like so many of us, must let go of their pasts and learn to live in the present.
This film contains brief language and mild mature themes, but is suitable for almost all ages.
