Tagline: Desire knows no bounds.
Plot: FACING WINDOWS is a haunting, romantic story of love, history, memory, and politics from director Ferzan Ozpetek, the Instanbul-born Italian transplant whose gay-themed films STEAM: THE TURKISH BATH and LE FATE IGNORANTI earned him a large degree of cult status and notoriety. He breaks into slightly more mainstream material with this drama that centers around Giovanna, a young housewife who at 29 has found herself stuck in an unhappy marriage and a job she despises. Her marriage to Filippo (Filippo Nigro), a respectable working-class auto mechanic who has been forced to make do with pumping gas for a living, has crumbled into one long argument, and she has been forced to set aside her dreams of being a pastry chef to keep accounts for a chicken packaging factory. Giovanna's hopes for a better life crystallize in her growing obsession with the handsome bachelor whose window faces hers, and whose bedroom activities she takes to spying on; unbeknownst to her, however, Lorenzo is looking back, watching Giovanna and entertaining fantasies of his own. When Filippo takes in a confused old man he meets in the streets (longtime veteran of world cinema Massimo Girotti), Giovanna is a reluctant caretaker until the truth about his past, as well as his talent as a baker, begins to emerge.
