(ANSA) - ROME, AUGUST 03 - After the success of I RAGAZZI DELCORO, the Parisian director Christophe Barratier returns to theaters with VOLAMI VIA, co-produced by Palomar and in theaters from August 19 distributed by I Wonder Pictures and Unipol Biografilm Collection.
What does the film tell? The story of a redemption, that of Thomas (Victor Belmondo, nephew of Jean-Paul), a young thirty-year-old spoiled and lazy man with a wealthy and distracted father. The road to maturity of this boy, to be able to land with his spider in the swimming pool of his house, has a name: Marcus, twelve (the talented newcomer YoannEloundou), a seriously ill teenager. For Thomas, who does not work, but only plays every day, a stop arrives from his doctor father who at a certain point entrusts him with Marcus, a severely disabled patient of his who should be helped. A pact is thus established between son and father: if Thomas will not be able to take care of Marcus, he will have to leave home and begin for the first time in his life to get by on his own. Now, the task entrusted to Thomas is not easy:that of being close to illness and a frail young man who could become a victim of every strong emotion, but it is inevitable that despite the difference the two understand each other and in the end help each other complete each other.
"The beauty is that this incredible story is true - says the director - or the chance meeting of two characters who are basically both disabled in the struggle for life". (HANDLE).
