Avemmaria
- Drama
- Crime
Felice lives in two dark rooms of a crumbling building with his father Raffaele, recently laid off, his mother Antonietta, too young and worn down by grief, his grandmother Filomena, always dressed in black and filled with resentment, and three brothers, with another on the way. In that world of poverty and violence, a boy like him can either be crushed or cling to his dreams. His imagination is his refuge, but in Pianura there's no room for fantasy - being poor and a dreamer is a fault. Yet his teacher, Giulia, recognizes his singing talent and tries to offer him new horizons. When Felice sees Neil Armstrong's footprint in his textbook, he realizes he too might leave Pianura and reach the moon.
Avemmaria is an Italian drama film released on June 25, 2026, following a young boy named Felice who dreams of escaping poverty in the struggling neighborhood of Pianura. Set in a cramped, violence-ridden household, the film explores how imagination and talent—especially his gift for singing—might offer a path out of desperation. Directed with attention to the resilience of childhood in harsh circumstances, Avemmaria examines whether dreams can survive in a world built to crush them.
