Story:

It is the story of Uriela, laundress in a steel factory who is ready to do whatever it takes to povide her child Timoteo with a better future away from the polluted city they live in. When she begins to suffer from an incurable disease, Timoteo escapes reality by convincing himself that Uriela’s an ancient and fierce angel.

Paradiso is the debut feature of Giulio Mastromauro, known for his short film Inverno (David di Donatello for Best Short and over 200 worldwide selections and 70 awards). Paradiso is an intimate film, whose roots lie in the author’s childhood, half-lived between joy and pain and inextricably linked to his mother, who passed away when Giulio was only 7. It’s co-written with Andrea Brusa and Herbert Simone Paragnani.

Vertigo will be responsible for casting for the main actress, providing creative collaborators, organize location scouting and explore the opportunities for post-production.
