Quite average, but very good and in everyday terms instructive Italian film "Tenderness" / La tenerezza, 2017, directed by Gianni Amelio. An old, no longer practicing lawyer gets a heart attack in the hospital, but after a while escapes from there. His daughter visits him, but he doesn’t even talk to her. As it turns out, for many years he does not communicate with his children, the daughter makes attempts to establish contact with him, the son, it seems, does not need this at all. He cut himself off from everyone, carefully guarding his life from anyone. When he returns home, he accidentally meets his new neighbors - a distracted young woman constantly losing her keys, and then her husband and children. And the unexpected happens - he has contact with them, both with the woman and her husband, and with their children, although with his own grandson - the only one with whom he sometimes communicates, he does not have a very close relationship, despite efforts on his part. However, in the end, we see that everything is not so simple with this couple and one day there is a tragedy that plunges him into shock. But in the end, this tragedy brings him closer to his own daughter. In my opinion, there are some plot "holes" in the film, it is not very clear what motives led the young husband to his terrible act, is it again these terrible childhood injuries? But in general, the message is clear - do not push away your loved ones, love them.
