The Hand of God
Drama
In 1980s Naples, an awkward teen struggling to find his place experiences heartbreak and liberation after he's inadvertently saved from a freak accident by football legend Diego Maradona.
VIBE
This film feels like a sun-drenched, melancholic memory, steeped in the vibrant chaos of 1980s Naples. It's an intimate, bittersweet journey through adolescence, family eccentricities, and the profound impact of unexpected events. The atmosphere is both deeply personal and universally resonant, a dreamlike ode to youth and the shaping forces of life.
