Production
editDevelopment
editIt's the first feature film directed by Moretti in which he will not be a part of the main cast.[1] The filmmaker suffered a heart attack few months before the shooting.[4]
The screenplay is loosely based on the short story collection Hungry Heart by Israeli writer Eshkol Nevo. Moretti had previously adapted another work by Nevo in Three Floors (2021).[5]
Filming
editPrincipal photography began on 1 September 2025,[3] shooting on location in Rome and Turin in Italy, and San Sebastian in Spain.[6]
The project is being produced by Moretti’s Sacher Film and Fandango in collaboration with Rai Cinema.[5]
Release
editThe film is expected to be released in 2026, it will be distributed in Italy by 01 Distribution and in Spain by BTeam Pictures.[7] The latter programmed a 25 December 2026 theatrical release date.[8]
Like all Moretti's films since Caro diario (1993), the film was expected to have its world premiere at the main competition of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival,[9] but the film was still in post-production by early 2026 due to Moretti's poor health.[10][11]
