A new film by the award-winning author of "Miracles" by Alice Rohrwacher, in which one of the main roles was played by the director's sister, equally talented Alba Rohrwacher.

"Happy Lazzaro" won many awards at world festivals, including for the best screenplay at the Cannes festival.

"Happy Lazzaro" is an oneiric tale at the point where Italian neo-realism and magical realism meet. Focuses on meeting Lazzaro, a boy so kind-hearted, that he is often taken for granted, with the beautifull Tancredi, a young nobleman with an overly exuberant imagination.

The life of both of them in the isolated Pastoral Village of Inviolata is dictated by the dreadful awning of Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of the tobacco empire and mother Tancredi.

A loyal bond between young men is sealed when Tancredi asks Lazzaro to help him organize his own kidnapping.

This strange and unlikely alliance is a revelation for Lazzaro and results in a friendship so precious that the hero will even travel in time and space in search of Tancredi. For the first time in his life, Lazzaro will also go to the big city ...
