The Second Time
Synopsis
Alberto Sajevo, a university teacher in Turin, happens to cross paths with the young woman, Lisa Venturi, who tried to assassinate him twelve years earlier. He recognises her instantly but she doesn't. She has put her terrorist past behind her. They meet again. Lisa pretends to be just an ordinary office worker. Albert pretends to believe her, although he knows she has to report back to prison every evening. He wants an answer to the question which has obsessed him for the past twelve years : "Why me?".

About
Unifrance : "How did you meet Nanni Moretti ?"
Nella Banfi, producer : "We met in 1986 when one of his films, "Bianca", was first distributed in France. I suggested that he set up his own production company and he agreed, on condition that I did it with him. That was how I came to set up Banfilm and switched from film distribution to production."
Unifrance : "What films have you produced together ?
Nella Banfi : "Palombella Rossa" (1989), "Il port aborse" (1991), "Dear Diary" (1993) and "La Seconda volta".
Unifrance : "What is your favorite memory of your working partnership ?"
Nella Banfi : "The screening of the first cut of "Palombella rossa". I realised then how lucky I was to be working with someone so talented. It was sheer bliss. Whenever I'm tempted to give the whole thing up, I think back to that time."
