Feather by Roan Johnson  in cinemas today

After the presentation in September at the Venice Film Festival, arrives today in cinemas Feather, the new Roan Johnson movie.

In Venice Feather, although accompanied by mixed reviews, it won two awards. The Special Prize to the cast of the film and "Civitas Vitae Award" to the director.

This is the fourth movie of the Italian-British director after 4-4-2 - The best game in the world, episode The third goalkeeper (2005); The first on the list (2011); So far so good (2014) and several episodes of the TV series The crimes of BarLume.

Iron and Cate

Feather is a pure comedy. The protagonists are Iron and Cate, little more that two boys.

They are a step away from maturity and a summer in which are placing great expectations, starting with a trip to Morocco long awaited.

But their life is turned upside down when she gets pregnant.

They decide to continue the pregnancy. It follows a preposterous phase. With a lot of concerns .......

But also with a lot of tenderness for the waiting of the child.

The disruption is not only to the lives of the two boys, but that of two families. Their parents, unprepared for the birth of a grandchild, more than being a point of equilibrium become part of the agitation following the news.

A storm that at the end subsides, a break that comes together on new balances.

The film is light and fun. An important topic such as motherhood is addressed through the unconsciousness and the irony of two teenagers.

After all, to quote the words of the director, the film is born "to exorcise the fear of having a child."

The film's characters are played by Blu Yoshimi Di Martino (Cate) and Luigi Fedele (Iron).

The other performers: Michela Cescon, Sergio Pierattini, Francesco Colella, Francesca Antonelli, Brando Pacitto, Clara Alonso, Bruno Squeglia, Francesca Turrini and Massimo Reale.

Plot and script are by Ottavia Madeddu, Carlotta Massimi, Davide Lantieri and the same Roan Johnson.

Produced by Sky Italy and Palomar; the distribution is carried out by Lucky Red.

The setting is in a busy suburban Roma (this time prevails Tuscolana area).

The music is by Lorenzo Tomio; the theme song "At least you" by Francesca Michielin.
