Directed by Marescotti Ruspoli,
Amusia stars Carlotta Gamba as a young woman stricken with the titular
condition, which means she has an inability to hear music. After years of
suffering, she becomes emboldened by a relationship with a boy (Giampiero De Concilio) who uses music as a means of escape from
the world. Maurizio Lombardi and Fanny Ardant also star.

18th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
In a world saturated with music, AMUSIA tells the story of a girl who is born without the means to hear it. The disease is called Amusia. It exists but nobody knows about it and it tortures her but nobody believes it. She had a lonely childhood which she spent defending herself from accusations and prejudice. The disease, and lack of acceptance, push her to run away, finding herself in a forgotten suburban neighbourhood. There she befriends a boy who is fighting his own solitude through music as he tries to prevent his own dreams from rotting away. A love story between two people that turn out to be not so different after all.
