Skip it—this premise of a bored teacher obsessing over his neighbor screams predictable erotic thriller with a stale midlife crisis angle, and without critical backing to suggest it does something fresh with those tired tropes, you're better off spending your night elsewhere.

Plot

Luca is a forty-year-old teacher experiencing a relationship crisis with his wife, Sara, who is much wealthier than him. During the lockdown, Luca finds himself a bystander in the life of his new neighbor, Amanda, and decides to bridge the distance between them, with disastrous consequences.
