Quasi orfano

Quasi orfano (2022) is an Italian comedy starring Riccardo Scamarcio that you can watch online on iFILM. It follows a man who erased where he came from — until where he came from comes knocking.

Valentino Tarocco built himself from scratch: a celebrated Milanese designer with a flawless accent and not a trace of an origin story. Nobody knows he grew up poor in the south, in Puglia. Then an accident throws him back into his twenties, and the old dialect, the loud relatives and everything he spent years disowning come flooding back. Vittoria Puccini and Antonio Gerardi play the people he'd rather forget.

Director Umberto Riccioni Carteni keeps it light, but the target is sharp: class snobbery and the quiet shame of one's own family, a nerve that runs deep in Italy. Ninety unpretentious minutes powered by that brash southern energy. Stream Quasi orfano (2022) online on iFILM.
