Writer Unearths Mother's Dark Past in New Drama
25 Jun
Summary
- Young writer investigates her birth mother's abandonment.
- Based on a true story from an autobiographical Italian novel.
- Film explores motherhood and the need to know origins.
Daniele Luchetti directs "Your Little Matter," a new drama centered on a young writer's quest to uncover her parents' obscured past. Rising Italian talent Tecla Insolia stars as Maria Grazia, a writer driven to discover her origins.
Maria Grazia seeks out her birth mother, who left her abandoned in Rome's Villa Borghese park in 1965. This narrative is drawn from a true story, based on Maria Grazia Calandrone's autobiographical Italian novel.
The film, co-produced by Fandango and Vision Distribution, delves into themes of motherhood and the fundamental human need to know where one comes from. It navigates through fragments of memory, secrets, and silences to piece together a family's history.
Luchetti, known for his work on "My Brilliant Friend," helms this project featuring Margherita Buy and Alessandro Preziosi. Production began on Wednesday, with Fandango and Vision Distribution also handling international sales.
