SYNOPSIS
Every family has its secrets. But some are funnier than others.
Naples. 1973.
Peppino Sansone is 9, comes from a large and fairly chaotic family and has an older cousin,
Gennaro, who thinks he is Superman.
Peppino divides his days between the crazy and colourful world of his young aunt and
uncle, Titina and Salvatore, made up of dancing in squares, parties in basements and
attending feminist collectives, and his home where his mum has shut herself away in an
incomprehensible silence and his father tries to distract him by giving him little chicks to
keep as if they were pets.
But when Gennaro dies, Peppino’s imagination rewrites reality and brings him back to life,
as though his cousin really were the superhero he said he was.
And it is thanks to this imaginary friend, this Neapolitan Superman and his not-so-super
powers that Peppino manages to face up to the vicissitudes of his family and start to
approach the adult world.

INTERVIEW WITH IVAN COTRONEO
Why did you choose to move from writing to directing and what was it like?
I’ve always written lots, but I’ve never been very far from film sets. Immediately after graduating
in screenwriting from the National Film School, I started working as an assistant director. Over the
years when I was concentrating on writing, I’d go to the sets of films that I’d written whenever the
director asked me to – and sometimes when they didn’t! But I had never considered the idea of
taking on the responsibility of directing until Nicola Giuliano and Francesca Cima chose to work on
the film version of my novel Kryptonite in her bag. From my meetings with them, as we were
discussing how to bring the novel to the screen, the notion started to emerge of me directing it.
That was the start of a long adventure made up of writing, preparation, getting a crew and cast
together, all of which just blew me away. It was adventure where I was never alone. I discussed
and debated every one of my choices with my producers, I had the good fortune to work with a
crew who weren’t just talented, but who believed in what we were doing, and with a cast of
performers who were involved in every moment of the production, even when they weren’t in
front of the camera. This experience for me was a sort collective adventure, in which it was much
easier for me to say “We have decided to...” or “We are going to...” rather than “I have decided
that...”.
How did you work on the screenplay, setting out from the novel you had written?
When I was asked to direct, I immediately thought that I didn’t want to do the screenplay on my
own. I asked Monica Rametta to help, someone with whom I’d worked before, and Ludovica
Rampoldi, with whom I’d never worked, but I’d read her screenplays and seen her films. Together
we tried to concentrate on the central theme of the novel: Peppino’s vision of the world,
Peppino’s relationship with his mother, with his father, with his mixed-up family and with his
supposedly superhero cousin. We simplified the minor stories, and worked on the characters,
trying to give each of them the chance, one scene at least in which they were able to express
themselves or express their own human truth. Monica and Ludovica helped me a lot in looking at
the material of the novel with a degree of distance and their contribution was fundamental.
How did you deal with the mise-en-scène of the ‘70s and particular your Naples of the ‘70s?
Setting a film in 1973 means it almost has to be a costume drama. Well, I did everything I could to
treat this film as though it really were not a costume drama. I wanted our ‘70s to be realistic, and
for the photography, the sets and the costumes to capture the modesty of those years, without
nostalgia or regret. Clothes that last longer than a season, pullovers passed on from one cousin to
another, children’s trousers with a darker strip at the bottom of the legs because they had to be
lengthened as the child grew, the shelves that were pretty bare, not much furniture, the heavy
plastic shopping bags. These are all real elements, not just memories. I tried to tell the story
without depending on the myth of the ‘70s, and to tried to salvage from those Neapolitan years –
that I remember as a child – that strange mix of high and low influences, of fashions that came
credits not contractual
from outside or abroad and life in the neighbourhood, songs in English repeated without
understanding a word of them and fried pizza. What I was most interested from those years was
the possibility for change, the contrast between the new ideas of freedom and the sometimes
conditioning presence of the family. How many of those new ideas would really have been
achievable? Are determination and conviction all it takes to realise a dream, or do you just get
caught up in life, then? I wanted to describe a world that was torn, especially for women, between
the utopia of the future and the traditions of home and hearth, a world where, talking about it at
least, everything seemed possible. Luca Bigazzi with the photography, Rossano Marchi with the
costumes, Lino Fiorito with the sets, all helped me construct a realistic world, in which the
fantastic elements are combined with doors that squeak, low-wattage light bulbs, worn-out shoes,
glasses that don’t match on the table.
The film boasts a major cast; how did you find working with the actors?
I feel I have been very lucky with this first film of mine. I had the chance to work with actors whom
I admire, having seen and loved them in other people’s films. Valeria Golino had been in my mind
right from when I wrote the book: even before I knew it would be made into a film, Rosaria
Sansone in the novel had her eyes, her body, her voice. In my head, Cristiana Capotondi was the
young aunt I was looking for: happy and uninhibited, but with a hidden melancholy in her eyes,
that comes out only if you look closely. Luca Zingaretti, with his great talent and powerful
humanity and generosity, has brought to the character of Antonio the candour and
inattentiveness of a father in those years. Libero De Rienzo made his Salvatore a mix of audacity,
impudence and fear of life, everything I wanted. And Fabrizio Gifuni gave credibility and
bewilderment to Dr Matarrese. But the truth is I feel a real connection with all the actors in the my
film, from the first to the last, and if there’s something I’ve understood from this first experience
of directing it is that you cannot work with actors unless you love them deeply and sincerely. At
the first auditions, I met Vincenzo Nemolato, who plays Gennaro Superman, and I immediately
thought I’d found the person I was looking for. Monica Nappo, Lucia Ragni, Antonia Truppo,
Gennaro Cuomo, Rosaria De Cicco, Massimiliano Gallo, Sergio Solli, Nunzia Schiano, Tina
Femiano… Each of my actors, famous or not, with loads of experience or none, they all gave me a
really great gift by trusting in the story, trusting my direction and entering into the general idea of
the film.
There’s a child at the centre of the story. How did you choose him and what was it like working
with Luigi Catani?
Luigi was chosen from among more than 500 children. But I could say that he chose himself:
meeting after meeting, he imposed himself with his presence, his discretion, his glance. I
continued meeting with other possibles for the role of Peppino, but he had got into my head, with
his curls, with these big blue eyes that really seem to have come from his screen mother Valeria
Golino. When we met, he had that special way of his of going quietly and seriously into the corner
when he came into the room. He was like an old-fashioned child, with a sense of rigour and a
great, instinctive reserve. Before this film, Luigi had no cinema or television experience but he has
been singing for years in the choir of the San Carlo Theatre in Naples. We started reading the
screenplay and building up the character together. Luigi trusted me and I trusted him. After we’d
worked together for a while on the scenes, he met Valeria Golino. When he saw her for the first
time, he clung on to my arm, and without saying a word, he was asking me to help him. He
credits not contractual
rehearsed a lot with the actors who onscreen would have been his mother, his father, his aunt and
uncle and his grandmother. He spent a lot of time with his cousin Superman, and whole
afternoons with Valeria Golino going round Naples, and when we eventually got on to the set, he
had become Peppino, with those broken glasses he is always pushing back up his nose. I just had
to tell him to start, he was already there, a part of the Sansone family.
Music has an important role in the film. How did you choose the soundtrack songs and the
other music?
Right from writing the screenplay, I knew I wanted music to have an important narrative role.
Those very songs were there right from the start of the work. They weren’t meant just to
accompany certain precise moments of the story, but to describe them. Rosaria’s loneliness as she
returns home, having discovered her husband is betraying her, even when I was writing it. could
only have been described by Mina’s voice singing Quand’ero piccola, the explosion of Peppino’s
imagination could only have been celebrated by the voice of David Bowie, the tender and poor
love of two young people in a cabin on the beach had and could only have the voice of Peppino di
Capri to accompany it, and I was so desperate for the family dynamics to be described by Iggy Pop
that I didn’t let the fact that Lust for life in reality came out three years after the film is set stop me
including it. These boots are made for walkin’ is present in the film in two versions, Dalida’s in
Italian, and a cover I asked Planet Funk to do, who are a group I’ve known and admired for a while.
I wanted a song from the past, but rearranged and made new, to accompany what we imagine
might be Peppino’s future life during the end credits.
The screenplay, the arc of the story, were born with these musical choices in place, and Pasquale
Catalano, with his talent and his sensitivity, built up a score that goes its own way and follows the
development of the characters autonomously, seeking to recreate their truth and development
through the original music. The final result is an only apparently bizarre mix of Italian pop and
masterpieces from Anglo-American music, immersed in a context which is that of the alleyways,
the human truth of the characters. A soundtrack that is free and full of different suggestions, that
tries to describe life.

VALERIA GOLINO. Rosaria
“You know, Peppì, they just felt like normal times...but I wasn’t thinking of anything.
Maybe that was happiness.”
Rosaria Sansone is on the island of Procida when she says these words. She is telling her
son Peppino about when she was young, about a time long ago in her life, which seems to
her, as she remembers it, to have been ‘happy’, an adjective that disturbs and frightens
her. Is that really what happiness was, the expectation of a possible future, a lack of
worries? Has happiness really passed her by without her even noticing? Rosaria is scared,
she has no answers, either for herself or for her child. But she adds a ‘maybe’ to her
conviction, a ‘maybe’ that is partly a hope. Before long, as the film unfolds, she will learn
that life can surprise you, that events, dramatic ones even, can pour down upon you, and
that there is no salvation but only a trap, an illusion, a dangerous comfort in nostalgia for
the past. As she speaks these words, life is already moving along with her, and offering her
a great chance of victory and redemption, as a reward for her strength. This perhaps is
Rosaria’s most important characteristic: her capacity to resist, to fight silently for the life
she would like. This is what makes her victorious, capable of winning against the time she
lives in, her circumstances, her beliefs about family. Not letting herself be trapped by
nostalgia will mean for her finding a new and unexpected form of happiness.

CRISTIANA CAPOTONDI. Titina
"Elio’s not lame, he just walks a bit funny."
This quote from my character Titina perfectly sums up her way of thinking: life, after all,
depends on how you look at it.
If Elio really is lame, it doesn’t matter; Titina is willing to convince herself it’s only a
question of habit that renders him different.
She manages to see beauty in everything, she possesses that typically Neapolitan spirit of
believing that whatever heaven sends us, it’s bound to work out.
Elio, in effect, has been sent to her by Providence, and Titina, who discovers here that she
is a lot more traditionalist than her uninhibited behaviour might suggest, cannot but
believe in that sign.
Titina lives the experiences of young people in the ‘70s, but at a certain point she will feel
more strongly the call of that destiny which ties her to all the women of her family, and to
all the women who represent that type of matriarchal femininity.
On the other hand, she has never really believed in a different or more comfortable future,
far from where she has grown up. She is Miss Levagnole, after all, a beauty queen who
knows she is only special among her own kind.
And Elio’s lameness is also a way not to kid herself on about a happiness that she does not
really believe can exist for her either.

LUCA ZINGARETTI. Antonio
"Listen, Peppì, why don’t you give me a hug like you used to when you were little, when it was like I was
the only thing you needed?”
The first thing I thought when I was studying the character of Antonio is that he inspired a
great tenderness in me. Which is a strange feeling to have for a character who, all things
considered, gets up to all sorts of nonsense.
If he were to be judged as a father and husband, Antonio’s character would undoubtedly
be roundly condemned. The best that could be said about him is that he is a distracted dad
and husband.
For this reason, it is important to remember that Antonio has to be read, seen, considered,
and, finally, judged, as a man of the ‘70s, that is, a time when bringing up children was the
mums’ task, and in which, for example, depression, especially female depression, was
generically dismissed as a nervous breakdown.
Their story is set in a time in which we still had no knowledge of adult and infant
psychology, and couples did not split up unless it was over something really important.
Antonio is a man who is living in a reality that is undergoing great change (which, like all
changes, is read first and best by the female universe) but he does not have the equipment
to deal with it.
To condemn him, then, would not just be wrong, but also unfair: Antonio lives and acts
according to the morality and education of his time.
His love for his wife is authentic and alive, as is his passion. But when she goes into crisis,
he is unable to understand her. His betrayal is an infantile reaction to feeling overlooked,
but also a reflection of the general notion that your relationship with a lover has nothing to
do with your marriage.
With Peppino too Antonio is an affectionate father. His emotional make-up as a man of the
‘70s do not allow him to correctly read Peppino’s malaise, but he does all he can to distract
and comfort him.
And when he is unable to, when he has tried everything he knows and has no idea what
else to do, his impotence emerges with a candour that is touching: it is he who asks his son
for a gesture that might stop time and grant him inner peace: "Listen, Peppì, why don’t you
give me a hug like you used to when you were little, when it was like I was the only thing
you needed?”
credits not contractual
LIBERO DE RIENZO. Salvatore
“Why, do you not believe it? Look, if you don’t believe it, then it won’t happen... And we’ll be stuck here all
our lives... You have to believe it, Titì…’”
Salvatore Sansone smiles a lot. Behind his happiness, his nights out, the thousand girls he
chats up, he has but one desire, a powerful one: to feel special. He needs to believe that he
is destined for a different life, one that will see him and his sister Titina far from Naples, far
from Italy, in London maybe. In the Naples neighbourhood where they live, the brother and
sister are minor celebrities: they are whimsical, extravagant, almost outrageous. They feel
very modern. But Salvatore feels instinctively that their modernity might not get them past
the steps at San Pasquale. He needs to believe in his dream, and this faith is the only
weapon he has to make it possible: “If you believe, it really will happen”.
Very often, this is an illusion. Life will take it upon itself to mess up all the cards, his plans
for the future, and in exchange will burden him with a remorse that will make him
responsible and a lot more doubtful; someone who smiles less and is more of a man.

LUIGI CATANI. Peppino
“The boy, Sansone Giuseppe, known as Peppino, was born in Naples on 20 February 1964. The arrival of
Peppino immediately caused a huge upset in the family.”
When I found out I had been chosen from among so many children, I was really happy
because, after lots of auditions, I’d grown fond of Peppino, who, after all, is a bit like me.
With Ivan I had a special feeling right from the start, we liked each other right away!!!!
The first thing I did was try on the costumes. I was wearing the clothes for hours and hours
but even then the atmosphere was happy and pleasant.
A few days before filming began I was able to spend some afternoons with Valeria Golino,
my mum in the film, who, apart from being really sweet and beautiful, is also really sporty
and in fact she beat me at Kinect Sport !!!!!
The first day of shooting I woke up very early. We went to Procida and I was really nervous, I
was scared of messing it all up and letting Ivan down.
Instead, it all went well, everyone made me feel at ease, they helped me and, as if by magic, I
became Peppino.
I discovered this new world that knew nothing about, that of cinema and I was fascinated by
it. I really felt like I was Peppino; he is part of me now and always will be.
On set. the atmosphere was one of infinite happiness, everyone was calm, everyone was
working to try and give the best of themselves. Including me!
The most enjoyable scenes were those with Gennaro Superman, Vincenzo Nemolato. He’s a
really nice guy and we had a lot of laughs together.
I have to say I connected with everyone. When I did my scenes with Luca Zingaretti, I really
enjoyed myself as well, especially the scene with the chicks and on the huge fairground ride
in Piazza Mercato.
I was really curious to discover that world, I was fascinated by the sets, the microphones, the
cameras, the scenes shot from every angle, the dollies – the cameras positioned up high:
understanding how much work there is behind every film.
But what remains with me the most is the affection that I feel for all of them, the warmth I
felt: I feel like I’ve always known all of them, like I was with my own family.
Cristiana and Libero really felt like my aunt and uncle, I danced and sang without any
embarrassment because it seemed so natural to do it. And Valeria really felt like my mum.
So on the last day of filming – I cried a lot at the last scene because, once the adventure was
over, I was scared I wouldn’t see the likes of Ivan and my friend Bigazzi again.
i want to thank everyone for giving me the opportunity to play the role of Peppino and for
having it made it all seem like a big game.

FABRIZIO GIFUNI. Matarrese
“I imagine you’re asking yourself who I am. Well, my name is Enrico. I was born in Naples and I’m 42... I
graduated in medicine and then I specialised in psychiatry.”
Dr Matarrese is a man who is always being caught out by his own fragilities. He loses and
regains control on various occasions.
He lives, in this story, only within his own space, the few square metres that mark the
perimeter of his office, the steps required to reach the door from his desk and from there
to the couch. ‘My’ patient is Valeria Golino. In some of her previous lives has already been
for me mum and ghost (in L’uomo nero - The Cezanne Affair by Sergio Rubini), lover (in
L’inverno - Winter by Nina Di Majo), separated wife (in La ragazza del lago - The Girl By The
Lake by Andrea Molaioli), psychologist - I never met her - (in L’amore buio - Dark Love by
Antonio Capuano). There is, therefore, by now a sort of natural marvellous tradition of
finding ourselves, year after year, pretending to be other people. A safety net. And the
light of Luca Bigazzi that I found again 13 years on from Amelio’s film (Così ridevano - The
Way We Laughed). I mean, far too many certainties for Dr Matarrese at this moment of his
life. For him - it’s obvious - it could only end this way.
