EnglishCome stai? La bomba! Manuel is overjoyed when, at the age of 18, he is allowed to leave home and move into his own place. However, his newfound freedom comes with a price: Manuel has negotiated an early release from prison for his unstable mother. She is allowed to spend the rest of her sentence at his side under house arrest – an immense task for a young man who is still finding his way into adulthood. The closer the date of his mother’s release approaches, the heavier the burden of Manuel’s responsibility begins to weigh down on him... IL FIGLIO MANUEL presents pressing, realistic, personal and emotional cinema. Director Dario Albertini undoubtedly stands at the beginning of a major film career.
