One Kiss
TLA ReleasingLorenzo, Blu and Antonio are high school sophomores living in a small city in the North of Italy. All three are outcasts, albeit for different reasons. Antonio is a jock, but gets picked on for his speech impediment, Blu has been unfairly labeled the town whore due to one prior indiscretion and Lorenzo is not afraid to be open about his sexuality, despite rampant homophobia. Though they come from different backgrounds, the three share a strong bond and soon band together to fight against their oppressors. However, when Lorenzo starts making evident his attraction to Antonio, petty jealousies threaten to tear the trio apart.
Reasons to Buy
- Directed by Ivan Cotroneo, the prolific writer behind the international hit I Am Love, One Kiss is not your typical teen movie. This is a film that isn't afraid to go deep and show both the brightest and darkest moments of adolescence.
- Reminiscent of 1960s New Wave forerunners like Truffaut's Jules et Jim and Godard's Bande a parte, One Kiss is a story of outsider friendship, the limits of imagination, and the consequence of honesty.
- Lead actors Rimau Ritzberger Grillo, Leonardo Pazzagli and Valentina Romani deliver exceptional performances. We're particularly excited about the homoerotic tension between Grillo and Pazzagli.
