From Academy Award–winning writer and director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) comes a deeply personal story of heartbreak and self-discovery set in 1980s Naples. The Hand of God follows Fabietto Schisa, a shy teenager whose life — and that of his vibrant, eccentric family — is suddenly overturned by two events: the electrifying arrival of soccer legend Diego Maradona, and a tragic accident from which Fabietto is inadvertently spared. What follows is the beginning of his journey toward an unexpected future.
Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most intimate tale — a story of fate and family, of sport and cinema, of love and loss.
