Successful Adaption for the Big Screen
25 June 2020
Fabio Bonifacci successfully adapted the story for the film. It is based on the book by the young author Giacomo Mazzariol who tells / processes his own life story: "... For his brother Giacomo, he is a superhero. But that was not always so. And that's why this is also the story of Giacomo, who honestly and openly faces his own shame and fear of being different in this book. At the same time, he tells with a lot of humor and lightness about Giovanni's very own view of the world and the special relationship between the brothers, who are two very different people and yet a strong team. " (Piper Verlag) Very strong cast, the father (Alessandro Gassmann) played alongside J. Statham in Transporter 2, the mother (Isabella Ragonese: 'Ten Winter', 'All Life Is Before You', 'The Commissioner and the Alps') has won various National and International awards. The children's cast is great and the crazy aunt (Rossy de Palma) is known for her 7 parts in Almodóvar's films, most recently 'Julieta'.

Funny, heart-warming story that is a lot of fun. Great movie.
