  If By Chance
 

IF BY CHANCE

  Tommaso (Fabio Volo) e Stefania (Stefania Rocca) meet, fall in love and marry. A baby is born, Claudio. Their love is sincere, passionate and strong.  Around them is a world of friends, relatives and acquaintences who get involved, advise and counsel them. But isn't this intense participation likely to worm its way into their relationship and end up altering it? Frustrations with work, a shortage of money, an unexpected social isolation. Stefania and Tommaso slowly become a couple like so many others: they stop struggling, no longer communicate and fight without knowing why. However, hope may not be dead: when love doesn't show its presence, that doesn't necessarily mean it's over. Often it's simply stifled, buried under a thousand problems that have nothing to do with love.
