Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Marco D'Amore is best known as Ciro Di Marzio in 'Gomorrah'—this is his 'suburban dad having a worse week' era.
The film deliberately mirrors real Italian cases where community silence protected abusers for decades; the sunny aesthetic isn't accidental—it's accusatory.
