'You Can't Save Yourself Alone' is a 2015 Italian romantic drama film directed by Sergio Castellitto. It is based on a novel with the same name written by Margaret Mazzantini.

Plot
Gaetano and Delia are a separate couple who find themselves at a restaurant table. With apparent disinterest in each other, they have to discuss the summer holidays of their children Cosmo and Nico, who live with Delia, while Gaetano is staying in a residence.
During the discussion, the two experience several flashbacks that make them understand their past.
The two had met when they were very young: the birth of the children, the first problems, also linked to the conflicting relationships of Delia with her mother and Gaetano with her father, some events that traumatize the children, the voluntary abortion of the third child. At the moment of separation Delia is about to fall into anorexia and her frustration falls on Cosmo, while Gaetano, overwhelmed by too much work, does not take care of the children sufficiently.
When dinner is about to end, two elderly people, Vito and Lea, who have overheard the conversation between Delia and Gaetano, approach. The elderly still seem very much in love and their mutual respect "is tangible". Vito says he is ill with cancer and asks the two young people to pray for him, explaining to them that "nobody saves himself alone".
