Written by the director, the script centres on Chiara Mastroianni who, pressured from all sides by the figure of her father, decides to bring him back to life through her own self. She goes by the name of Marcello, dresses like him and asks to now be considered an actor, not an actress. The people around her believe this to be a temporary joke, but Chiara is determined not to give up her new identity…

Produced by Philippe Martin and David Thion for Les Films Pelléas, Marcello Mio is co-produced by France 2 Cinéma and by Italy’s BiBi Film and Lucky Red. Pre-bought by Canal+, Ciné+ and France Télévisions, the feature film benefits from the French-Italian co-production support (led by the CNC and the DGCA-MIC) and from the support of the Cofinova and Indéfilms Soficas. The eight weeks of filming will take place until 13 October in Paris and Rome with Rémy Chevrin (his 8th film with the filmmaker) as director of photography. The release in French cinemas will be handled by Ad Vitam and the sales by mk2 Films.
