In the film, written by the director, Myriam Catania plays Sara, a young and insecure teacher, tired of the abuse of power and instability she suffers while waiting for tenure. Beautiful, ironic and full of charm, Sara is also fragile to the point of not wanting to be alone for more than a few hours. Suffering from low self-esteem, a disorder linked to a deep worry of being unloved and the fear of being abandoned, Sara’s problems only worsen when her fiancé Andrea accepts a job offer in the United States. Meanwhile, in the school in which Myriam works, Professor Nicola Torricella (Nicolas Vaporidis) abuses any opportunity possible to provoke Sara between lessons. A turn of events forces the protagonists to face life and love head-on, until Sarah has the clarity she needs to understand who the valuable people in her life really are.

Anche senza di te was produced by the company Hermes Film in association with Polifemo and is being distributed by Sun Film Group. Marco Dentici is the film's production designer (Sicilian Ghost Story [+see also:
