by Giorgio Farina. Carpenzano plays Nic, also known as Lovely Boy, a rising star of the trap scene in Rome who is aimed for a dazzling musical ascent but risks being sucked into a spiral of self-destruction. He is flanked by Ludovica Martino (who also starred in The Champion and in the series Skam Italia) and Enrico Borello (cast in the next film from Marco Puccioni, Il filo invisibile).

Il film was written by Peppe Fiore and Lettieri himself, while the cinematography is handled by Gianluca Palma. Marcella Mosca takes care of the set design, while the costumes are by Antonella Mignogna and the editing by Mauro Rodella.

In the director’s own words, “Lovely Boy is a film that will put me to the test, both because of the technical complexity of many of its scenes, and because of the difficulty in tackling such a delicate topic. The film does not focus on questions of a moral order, and it doesn’t judge, rather it centres on emotions."

Nicola Maccanico, Executive Vice President Programming at Sky Italia and CEO of Vision Distribution, explains: “We are telling a story of difficult growth, in which it will be clear how, in a world dominated by appearances, there is a risk of going in dangerous directions. The power of Lovely Boy is it will show how, through love and dialogue, it is possible to take a hold of your life and to change your destiny.” For Nicola Giuliano of Indigo Film, who produced Ultras, it was really beautiful “to work with a young, great talent like Francesco Lettieri on his debut. It is even more beautiful to continue on this journey with him and to find a partner who embraces the project as enthusiastically as Sky did on Lovely Boy."
