Pietro is a respected teacher who has a tempestuous affair with Teresa, his brilliant student. After an argument, Teresa suggests they tell each other a secret, a secret so embarrassing or shocking that if it were made public, it would ruin someone’s life.
As time passes, Pietro’s status as a writer grows and his family settles into a comfortable life. But he is haunted by the possibility that one day Teresa will reappear and tear his world apart with the secret he once confided to her.

Confidenza is mysterious, claustrophobic and intense, which is enhanced by the music of Thom Yorke, lead singer of British pop group Radiohead. The film is a strong drama with a profound analysis of human behaviour.
