Watch: Trailer Drops for New Film from 'Steam: The Turkish Bath' Director Ferzan Özpetek

A new trailer has arrived for "Nuovo Olimpo," a gay romance set across three decades in Italy. The film, which premieres on Netflix Nov. 1, is the work of "Steam" director Ferzan Özpetek.

The movie is "an Italian drama set in the '70s that centers around a same-sex couple that tries to survive a dangerous period in time after falling madly in love," Collider reported.

Like the classic Italian film "Cinema Paradiso," the move takes its name from a movie house that plays a crucial role in the lives of its protagonists, one of whom becomes a noted film director. The trailer shows how Enea (Damiano Gavino) and Pietro (Andrea Di Luigi) meet while going to the movies at Nuovo Olimpo and embark on a swoony romance.

But the world outside the theater is filled with unrest, and when a protest - and a police response - find their way into the theater's walls, the two lovers are driven apart. The memory of their youthful romance fuels the movies Enea goes on to direct, and his steamy gay love stories prompt public speculation that he might be incorporating some of his own life into his work. At least one female lover enters the mix, before the two reunite 30 years after their passionate affair.

The new movie comes on the heels of Showtime's "Fellow Travelers," another work about lovers whose relationship is hot, intense, and bumpy, and unfolds across a three-decade span. But what does Özpetek - whose gay-themed movies also include tragedy-tinged works like "Saturn in Opposition" and "The Ignorant Angels" - have in mind for his lovers this time?

Get a glimpse of the new movie below.
