Synopsis
Australian premiere
L'isola di Andrea
Written and directed by award-winning director Antonio Capuano, Andrea’s Island is a moving chamber drama about the legal battle waged by two parents over the custody of their only child.
Marta (Teresa Saponangelo, also in For You) and Guido (Vinicio Marchioni, There’s Still Tomorrow IFF24) are separating, but things are complicated with their son, eight-year-old Andrea. In conflict, they turn to the courts to decide custody and regulate how many days Andrea should spend with each of them.
The magistrate orders interviews and expert assessments, forcing Marta, Guido and Andrea to delve deeper into the reasons for their respective difficulties and desires. Through confrontations in front of judges, psychologists, and consultants, the complex story of their relationship begins to emerge. They gradually reveal a love born with enthusiasm, marked by family interference, silences, betrayals, and growing distance that led to a definitive break.
But while Marta and Guido continue fighting, each waiting for the other to give in, Andrea is in an impossible position, caught between his parents.
