Two Weeks in Another Town

An American film producer, Johnnie Brandon, travels to Rome to work on a film. While there, he encounters several people from his past, including his ex-wife, Carlotta, and his former boss, the ailing Jacob Lomax. Brandon struggles with his own personal demons and the memories of a past tragedy involving his wife and Lomax's son, which led to his emotional breakdown. He must confront his past and attempt to salvage his career and personal life amidst the glamorous but ultimately hollow backdrop of Rome.
