Trust is weaponised in 'To Love A Narcissist': our second feature-length obsessive love story, directed by Raffaello Degruttola, since our first, 'Transference', went viral. Charlotte and Roberto are in love. One of them is a covert narcissist. 'To Love A Narcissist' is a resonant story for our times that blurs the lines between love and deceit and will leave you questioning whether authenticity exists. 

After the collapse of her marriage, Charlotte delves into the mercurial world of online dating, where trust becomes a weapon in a dangerous game. As an insidious bond forms, a delicate interplay of manipulation and desire plays out. Vulnerability and control shift exposing layers of deception. As her relationship with Roberto unravels, Charlotte is forced to confront unsettling patterns.

'To Love A Narcissist' stars Lyndsey Marshal alongside Raff and Sule Rimi, Stephen Campbell Moore, Nathalie Armin, Edward Hayer, and Andrea Lowe. In 2024 Contro Vento Films welcomed Sadie Frost as an executive producer. She joins co-executive producers Bill Bossert and Lyndsey Marshal and producers Raff and Sadie Kaye.​​ In 2025 Contro Vento was thrilled to welcome Hollywood producer Ted Field to our team as executive producer.

After private screenings at Sanctum Soho in London, the film premiered at Cinema Village in New York on the closing night of SRFF 2025. The film received its Italian premiere at the Ariano International Film Festival Aug 1st 2025, where Raff's work was honoured. Raff was accompanied by executive producer Sadie Frost and actors Lyndsey Marshal and Stephen Campbell-Moore. All four received the Hirpus d'Oro award for their artistry and contribution to film.

The film has since been selected by upcoming festivals in Seoul and New Zealand.
