Netflix has released a poster and trailer for writer-director Paolo Sorrentino’s (Youth, The Young Pope) upcoming drama The Hand of God which follows teenager Fabietto (Filippo Scotti) through his experiences of heartbreak and liberation in 1980’s Naples; take look here…
From Academy Award-winning writer and director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty), comes the story of a young man’s heartbreak and liberation in 1980s Naples, Italy. The Hand of God follows Fabietto Schisa, an awkward Italian teen whose life and vibrant, eccentric family are suddenly upended—first by the electrifying arrival of soccer legend Diego Maradona and then by a shocking accident from which Maradona inadvertently saves Fabietto, setting his future in motion. Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most personal story, a tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss.
The Hand of God arrives on Netflix on December 15th.
