Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director Milani specializes in Italian middle-class satire; this continues his streak of mocking bourgeois hypocrisy with affectionate cruelty.
Paola Cortellesi co-wrote the script, drawing from her own observations of custody battles in Italian courts—she wanted to highlight how children become bargaining chips.
