"Manual of Love" chronicles the four chapters of love - "Falling in Love," "The Crisis," "The Betrayal," and "The Abandonment."
Tommaso (Silvio Muccino) meets and falls madly in love with the beautiful but completely uninterested Giulia (Jasmine Trinca).
Barbara (Margherita Buy) and Marco (Sergio Rubini) are an older couple losing the spark in their relationship.
Traffic cop Ornella (Luciana Littizzetto) suffers the "betrayal" when learning that her husband has been unfaithful. She overcomes the betrayal with unexpected strength and energy, focused in her fight against a global enemy: man.
Melancholic paediatrician Goffredo (Carlo Verdone) isn’t so lucky in trying to win back his wife.
