The film directorial debut of Susy Laude, theater director and actress (Il Giorno + bello, Beata ignoranza and If you love me), the film tells the story of the Ferliga, a singular and comic family all-male, led by their grumpy grandfather Attila (Antonio Catania), father master and winemaker full of debts. Then there are: the younger brother, Dante (Lillo Petrolo), with a vocation as an influencer; Attila's son, Ezio (Pietro Sermonti) beekeeper with two young children; Francesco, passionate about dance (Gabriele Ansanelli) and the younger Emanuele (Valerio Bartocci). Finally,in the cast the super-bad uncle Dino Abbrescia who has only one will: to take the property from grandfather Attila. In all these lives, including that of the dog Mimmo, the mysterious Uma, a sort of saving contemporary fairy played by the Austrian actress Laura Bilgeri (The recall, The last problem), female protagonist of the film together with Carolina Rey, will break in.
Tutti per Uma is a Camaleo production together with the Austrian Ellly Film, with Vision Distribution and in collaboration with Sky and Prime Video. "Yes, I do not hide the fact that I was afraid in putting together all this different material - explains Susy Laude - but I am very satisfied with this film and I hope that, in the end, the images speak. I believe that each of us 90% is nothing else. than the sum of the films seen ". And again the director: "I want to clarify that for me fantasy is neither a cartoon nor a fake thing, indeed, to quote Dante and Italo Calvino: 'Fantasy is a place where it rains inside'. with simplicity, without special effects except for very small things, because at times the imagination can also be naughty to make you smile ". "In this film we were also able to do comedy, which is no small thing - explains Sermonti -, the beauty of this work is the fact that it cannot be cataloged, there is the freedom of the theater, true anarchy ".
For Lillo Petrolo his character "is not too far" from him. "He is someone who wants to emerge and who as soon as he has a free moment starts making videos. A bit like I do when I start, without too much success, doing rock solos with my guitar". Grandfather Attila, explains Antonio Catania, "is a fake surly in a family of all males, however a man who tries to keep together a frayed family unit". "My role is very distant from me - concludes Dino Abbrescia -. In this film I am also a very slimy bad guy. And to think that on the set I was scolded by my wife (or Susy Laude herself, ed) who was very tough with me when I forgot a line. "
