What inner changes does a nascent widower undergo when his safe and comfortable routine is turned upside-down and inside-out by the arrival of a new woman in his life? Such is the question at the heart of this gentle slice-of-life drama from director Luca Lucini; Luca Argentero stars as Carlo, a 30-year-old dermatologist who adjusted to a dire personal trauma - weathered 10 months earlier, when his young wife died giving birth to their baby daughter Sofia - by surrounding himself with beloved family and friends and filling his emotional void in this manner. Everything is progressing as smoothly as planned, with Carlo living in a veritable emotional vacuum - that is, until Camille (Diane Fleri) turns up and shakes up Carlo's safe and familiar routine. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide

Dark shadows from a woman's past come back to haunt her in this drama from writer and director Cristina Comencini. Sabina (Giovanna Mezzogiorno) would seem to have a charmed life -- she has a successful career as a voice actress, a loving and supportive relationship with her boyfriend, Franco (Alessio Boni), and a pair of close friends she can confide in, Maria (Angela Finocchiaro) and Emilia (Stefania Rocca). But Sabina's contented existence is shattered when she inadvertently dredges up a long-dormant memory of how during her childhood she was sexually abused by her father. Confused and ashamed, Sabina finds it impossible to talk about her memories with Franco and her friends, but the terrible images refuse to go away. Seeking closure, Sabina travels to the United States to talk to the one person who may have a true insight to her problems, her brother, Daniele (Luigi Lo Cascio). Originally released in Italy as La Bestia nel Cuore, Don't Tell premiered at the 2005 Venice Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
