Story
Touched by God: In his autobiographical coming-of-age film, Paolo Sorrentino walks a tightrope between Fellini-esque absurdity and tragedy. Italy in the 1980s. 17-year old Fabietto Schisa lives with his exuberantly eccentric family in Naples. Under the sun of the Campana, the shy boy slowly matures – a passionate fan of SSC Napoli armed with a hungry curiosity for art, cinema and the beauty of illusion. But his childhood suffers a cruel blow which he has to learn to deal with. And over everything hovers, so near and yet so far, Maradona, the ghostly idol who seems to enchant the lives of everyone in Naples.
