The film tells the story of a young Roman who is about to get engaged to a man in the 1950s.

She goes to Cinecittà to audition as an extra and is drawn into this almost endless night of discovering herself.

Joe plays her love interest Sean Lockwood.

According to Collider.com. The film’s origins lie in both the glamorous and ever-changing scenes of old Hollywood after World War II.

This is a time when classic films such as 1953’s Roman Holiday, starring Audrey Hepburn, as well as many ‘sword and sandal’ films such as Elizabeth Taylor’s big budget Cleopatra, were filmed.

The director revealed that Antonaci’s character was actually inspired by a real young woman named Wilma Montesi.

The group no doubt enjoyed catching up in the restaurant in Piazza del Popolo, which serves dishes such as beef ragu pasta and duck foie gras pate with brioche bread.

Lily is currently in an on-again, off-again relationship with a musician Michael Shuman, while Joe has a romance with Chase Sui.
