The story of a young couple: Anna, a cartoonist with an impulsive and nonconformist personality, and Marco, a physics teacher convinced that everything is ruled by a kind of formula. They fall in love and struggle to keep their relationship alive going through tenderness and fights, lies and emotions, secrets and cheatings. A sentimental dramedy about couples and the effect of time passing on their relationships, posing a simple but profound question: what superpowers you need to have to love each other your whole life? Superheroes is the latest film by Paolo Genovese who is best known with Perfetti sconosciuti / Perfect Strangers which was remade many times.

This film is screened with the generous support of the Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Istanbul.
