The short film will be used in the meetings that ADMO will hold in schools and universities to inform boys and girls and the entire population in general about the donation of bone marrow.

Fabrizio Moro and Angelica Massera will also participate in the presentation at the Rome Festival.

The short film is produced by Andrea Torre in collaboration with Synart Production and Movi Production.
