🎬 Trasgredire (International English Title: Cheeky!)

Carla (Yuliya Mayarchuk) is a lively, free-spirited young Venetian woman engaged to Matteo (Jarno Berardi), a somewhat conventional young man studying in London. Seeking an apartment together in London, Carla travels ahead to view potential rentals, staying with her liberal aunt Moira (Francesca Nunzi) and Moira's husband Bernard (Mauro Lorenz).

Playful and open-minded, Carla believes that erotic exploration and harmless flirtation outside the relationship will strengthen their emotional bond. While apartment-hunting in London and wandering through Venice, she engages in a series of lighthearted sexual adventures, sharing every explicit detail with Matteo. Driven by jealousy and desire, Matteo follows her, culminating in a colorful series of Venetian misunderstandings, voyeuristic escapades, and mutual passion.
