Nostalgia follows a man returning to Naples after years away, where memories of a severed friendship, missed opportunities, and unspoken guilt rise to the surface. Mario Martone uses a restrained, hushed style to weave personal memory with the city's pulse, painting a portrait of a man at odds with his past and with a changing world. Through quiet conversations and long silences, the film probes how longing can blur truth, reshape identities, and bind people to places.
