The camera glides across a sleek, minimalist kitchen where Luca stands, an image of quiet command. His eyes, usually sharp as cut glass, thaw almost imperceptibly as he watches his wife—the celebrated actress—fuss with her cuff.

He observes her, a hunter wearing a husband’s skin, prepared to scorch the earth if it meant keeping her forever enclosed.
