Simone Baldasseroni has come to mainstream attention thanks to his role in the 2024 Netflix movie, The Tearsmith, but the Italian actor has been acting and singing for some years in his native Italy. The Tearsmith is a 2024 Italian teen romance film by Alessandro Genovesi that premiered on Netflix on April 4, 2024. The film ended up becoming the number one movie on the platform three days after its release, with much of the success being attributed to the leads, Simone Baldasseroni and Caterina Ferioli as Rigel Wilde and Nica Dover, respectively (via MSN).
Simone Baldasseroni's character in the cast of The Tearsmith is a moody teenager, who is adopted by a family who had already adopted a daughter many years before.

“Bridgerton” Season 3 is off to a steamy hot start.
The third season of the Shondaland period drama drew 45.1 million views over its first four days of availability, according to Netflix, easily finishing first on the streamer’s Global Top 10 list. Take that, Tom Brady roast.
It was the biggest week — by quite a bit — for any series on Netflix since the streamer changed its core metric from hours viewed to views in mid-June 2023.
The first four “Bridgerton” Season 3 episodes reached number 1 in 78 countries and the Top 10 in 92, Netflix said. The next four episodes premiere on June 13; try not to obsess over the big cliffhanger between now and then.
The third season of “Bridgerton” also brought the first two back to (some semblance of) their former glory. “Bridgerton” Seasons 1 and 2 both returned to Netflix’s Top 10 TV (in any language) list in the week ahead of Season 3. They did even better during Season 3’s premiere week.

In a first for Italy, young adult romantic drama “Fabbricante di Lacrime” (“The Tearsmith”) – a Netflix Italy original – has reached the No. 1 slot on the streamer’s global movie chart in the non-English-language category.
Based on the turgid eponymous Italian bestseller by a writer who goes by the pen name Erin Doom, “The Tearsmith” dropped globally on Netflix April 4 and rapidly climbed the streaming giant’s global charts. “The Tearsmith,” directed by Alessandro Genovesi, has now been ensconced in Netflix’s No. 1 non-English-language movie slot for two weeks.
Set in the U.S., “Tearsmith” follows two diametrically different orphans named Nica and Rigel who are adopted by the same family from the Sunnyside Orphanage, dubbed “the grave” by the children there.

The Tearsmith is more than a typical teen love story, mixing forbidden love with overcoming trauma and embracing true feelings. Viewers follow a twisted fairytale, watching as Rigel breaks free from a toxic upbringing by overcoming emotional torture and finding love. The tearjerking ending sees Rigel and Nica finally getting their happy ending, proving that even the big bad wolf can find love.
Based on Erin Doom's international bestselling novel, Netflix's The Tearsmith takes the idea of forbidden love and intermingles it with a dark and twisted modern-day fairytale. While there are no ballgowns or fairy godmothers coming down to save the day, viewers do get to see how one damsel in distress falls in love with a mysterious boy who she has always believed to be the big bad wolf. Doom's original story is beautiful and wicked all at once, but with Simone Baldasseroni and Caterina Ferioli...

As the streaming wars rage on, there's one area where Netflix completely dominates all of its competition — international cinema. While the streaming juggernaut is still working on perfecting its subtitling and audio description services (as well as its localization issues), there's no denying that Netflix has a swath of non-English speaking films and TV shows to help expand the tastes of subscribers worldwide. The streaming platform also has no problem highlighting international projects as well, with entertainment from South Korea frequently landing on the Top 10 charts. According to FlixPatrol, a new teen fantasy romance film out of Italy is currently landing on the Top 10 charts in countries all over the globe, despite the film debuting on Rotten Tomatoes with a painful 0% as of publication. If this movie is as bad as critics are making it out to be, how the heck did it end up charting worldwide?

To understand why is the industry so conflicted over how to release movies, check out the contradictory paths of two Amazon films, “The Beekeeper” and “Road House.”
The first, which stars Jason Statham as a righteous avenger, is a $40 million production acquired by Amazon MGM for the US. It grossed $66 million in its domestic theatrical release and went on to become a hit as a $19.99 PVOD. Currently, it’s $5.99 to rent and is #1 at iTunes (which ranks by transactions) as well as Fandango (which tracks by revenue).
That’s nearly unheard of at Fandango, which sometimes see its entire top 10 comprised of $19.99 titles. It is also unusual for a mid-level success like “The Beekeeper” to be so dominant on VOD.
Meantime, “Road House” skipped theaters and leads Reelgood’s list of most-streamed movies for the week ending last Wednesday.
At Netflix, another random theatrical release dominates its most-watched movie chart.

Netflix's The Tearsmith brings Erica Doom's characters to life with a strong cast led by Simone Baldasseroni and Caterina Ferioli. The Italian romance delves into themes of trauma and forbidden love, exploring the impact of a traumatic childhood on the main protagonists. The Tearsmith not only focuses on Nica and Rigel but also relies on a wider cast to recreate the drama and heartbreak that made the novel a bestseller.
Based on the popular novel by Erica Doom, Netflix's The Tearsmith relies on the strength of its cast to bring the original characters to life. Directed by Alessandro Genovesi, the Italian-language romance follows a broadly similar story to the original book, building on its themes of forbidden romance and trauma. However, given the differences between television and literature, The Tearsmith's cast is under extra pressure to recreate the drama and heartbreak that made the novel an international bestseller.

There is no dearth of young adult films that focus solely on forbidden love and the kind of excitement it brings. There is a percentage of people who enjoy watching such content, and there are several examples of such films that are littered across many OTTs. The After series of films on Netflix and Culpa Mia on Amazon Prime are films that cover the physical intimacy and the growing attraction between two very troubled people, who end up finding their way back to each other. Following that pattern, The Tearsmith is yet another tale of forbidden love between two teenagers who are forced to live together.
