365 Days 2020

As the Torricelli Sicilian Mafia crime family orchestrates a clandestine meeting with black market dealers, Massimo Torricelli (Michele Morrone) indulges in a moment of tranquil reverie, his gaze drifting to a stunning woman basking on the sun-kissed shores. The tranquility is shattered when his father, the patriarch of the Torricelli family, falls victim to a sudden and brutal assassination attempt, leaving Massimo gravely injured.

Five years later, Massimo has transformed into a ruthless and calculating leader, having taken the reins of the Torricelli crime empire with an iron fist. Meanwhile, in Warsaw, Laura Biel (Anna Maria Sieklucka), a fiery and ambitious executive, finds herself trapped in a loveless relationship with Martin, whose rejection of her advances leaves her feeling helpless and humiliated. As she celebrates her 29th birthday in Italy surrounded by friends, the sting of Martin’s rebuff still lingers, and it’s not until he publicly embarrasses her that Laura seeks solace on a moonlit stroll, only to be snatched from obscurity by Massimo.

At his lavish villa, Massimo reveals to Laura that she is the very same woman who had captivated him on that fateful beach five years prior. His injury had left him fixated on her, and after an exhaustive search, he finally tracks her down at the airport, determined to make her his prisoner for 365 days - a year of unbridled luxury - with the promise that if she submits to his desires, she will be rewarded with a life of untold riches. When Laura attempts to flee, Massimo employs his leverage, threatening to harm her family and revealing incriminating photographs of Martin’s infidelity, all while reassuring her that he will not coerce her into intimacy without her consent… until the moment he does.

As the days blend together, Laura’s anger and resentment simmer just below the surface, fueling a series of provocative acts designed to test Massimo’s resolve. She teases him with revealing attire and flirtatious advances, but as the weeks pass, she begins to chip away at his emotional armor, coaxing confidences from the brooding enigma. Their encounter at a Rome hotel marks a turning point - Laura taunts Massimo once more, only to be forced to witness him receiving intimate attention from another woman. The scene ends with Massimo’s tender caresses and Laura’s apparent surrender, but as she dresses for a night out on the town, it becomes clear that her submission is merely a ruse.

As they hit the club, Laura flaunts her beauty for Massimo and his entourage, infuriating him when she begins to flirt shamelessly with a rival mafia family member. The man’s unwarranted advances against her will prompt Massimo to draw his weapon, and in the ensuing chaos, Laura is whisked away from the scene, her fate hanging precariously in the balance.

The dawn breaks on a lavish yacht, where Laura stirs to the sounds of heated debate between Massimo and Mario. As the tension simmers, it becomes apparent that the previous night’s events have set off a powder keg of mafia retribution. The catalyst for this chaos was Massimo’s impulsive decision to maim the hand of a would-be molester, an act that has earned him the ire of Mario and his associates. Amidst the escalating animosity, Laura’s attempts at apology are met with Massimo’s bitter resentment, fueled by his perception that she is somehow responsible for the ensuing bloodshed.

As the argument reaches its climax, Laura’s fear and panic become overwhelming, her fragile heart condition threatened by the prospect of drowning in the yacht’s waters. It is Massimo who intervenes, diving into the sea to rescue her with a courage born of desperation and devotion. As she regains consciousness, he confesses his own terror at the thought of losing her, an admission that serves as a turning point in their tumultuous relationship. The subsequent montage, set against the backdrop of sensual encounters on the yacht, captures the intensity and passion that has blossomed between them.

Massimo’s decision to allow Laura to visit her family in Warsaw is accompanied by his declaration of love, with promises to soon join her once his business affairs are settled. However, the days pass without word from Massimo, leaving Laura feeling isolated and uncertain. Her reunion with her best friend Olga provides a much-needed respite, as they indulge in the vibrant nightlife of Warsaw. The unexpected encounter with Martin, who seeks to apologize for past transgressions and explain the provocative photographs that had once threatened to tear them apart, only serves to further complicate Laura’s emotions.

As she returns to her apartment, Massimo appears unexpectedly, his presence marked by an air of intensity and a warning to Martin to depart. The ensuing argument culminates in a slap from Laura, her frustration rooted in feelings of abandonment. Later, as they succumb to their desires, Laura’s gaze falls upon the scars that adorn Massimo’s torso, a tangible reminder of the dangers he faces and the sacrifices he has made for her. It is then that she confesses her own love, an admission that precedes Massimo’s proposal and her acceptance.

In the aftermath of this emotional whirlwind, Laura implores Massimo to keep his true nature hidden from her parents, a request that underscores the secrets and complexities that have come to define their relationship.

In the midst of simmering tensions in Italy, Mario (character name) delivers grave news to Massimo, setting off a chain reaction of events that would change the course of their lives forever. As Laura’s health begins to decline, she dismisses her concerns, opting instead to focus on the impending wedding that she fears her family will not be allowed to attend due to Massimo’s secrets. Unbeknownst to them, however, Olga is granted an invitation as Laura’s bridesmaid, bringing with her a sense of unease and foreboding.

Laura confides in Olga about her pregnancy, but instead of offering support, Olga urges her to reveal the truth to Massimo. Meanwhile, Mario receives a chilling message from a trusted informant within the Torricelli family that they plan to take out Laura. As if fate had other plans, Laura’s car ventures into the darkness of a tunnel, only to vanish from sight.

Mario’s frantic search for answers leads him to find Massimo just as Laura’s phone call abruptly ends, leaving them both reeling in shock and disbelief. The gravity of the situation finally sets in as Massimo crumbles under the weight of his responsibilities, while outside, a police car’s siren pierces the air at the tunnel entrance, serving as a haunting reminder that time is running out for Laura.
