“Italy’s Oscar submission is a wounding portrait of a family trying to heal" - VARIETY
|
| PLOT: |
Rome. Luigi Celeste is twenty years old and lives with his mother Licia and his brother Alessandro. The three are very close. It has been almost ten years since any of them saw Franco, their father, who ruined the two boys’ childhood with memories of fear and their mother's abuse. Luigi, looking for a sense of belonging and identity, decides to join an extreme right-wing group where rage and oppression are still rampant. One day Franco returns, claiming his children and his family back. The story of Luigi and his family is one that goes down to the depths of the abyss to pursue a path of rebirth, whatever the cost.
Liberally inspired by the book Non sarà sempre così by Luigi Celeste. |
