To Love A Narcissist
Story
Trust is weaponised in 'To Love A Narcissist': our second feature-length obsessive love story directed by Raffaello Degruttola.
Charlotte and Roberto are in love. One of them is a covert narcissist. 'To Love A Narcissist' is a resonant story for our times that blurs the lines between love and deceit and will leave you questioning whether authenticity exists.
After the collapse of her marriage, Charlotte delves into the mercurial world of online dating, where trust becomes a weapon in a dangerous game. As an insidious bond forms, a delicate interplay of manipulation and desire plays out. Vulnerability and control shift exposing layers of deception. As her relationship with Roberto unravels, Charlotte is forced to confront unsettling patterns.
