Piccioni’s “prize” hides secret
Valerio Mastandrea and Valeria Golino star in Giuseppe Piccioni latest project, Il premio (“The Prize”), which started production today in Rome and will later move to Tuscany for an overall 10-week shoot.
Scripted by Piccioni and Federica Pontremoli and produced by Lionello Cerri for RAI Cinema and Lumière & Co., the film centres on Guido, a successful writer and finalist of a prestigious literary award. While grappling with the all that the nomination of his novel brings, he decides to fulfill a longtime desire to learn to swim and signs up for swimming lessons at a pool.
There, he meets Giulia, a charming woman who is all the more fascinating when in her element, the water. A relationship blossoms between them but it quickly becomes obvious that Giulia is harboring a secret and a mysterious past.
The cast includes Sonia Bergamasco, Antonia Liskova and Piera Degli Esposti.
The film will be distributed by 01 Distribution.
