Io e il Secco, first work by Gianluca Santoni, with Andrea Lattanzi, Francesco Lombardo, Barbara Ronchi, Andrea Sartoretti and Swamy Rotolo, tells the story of the encounter between little Denni (Francesco Lombardo) and Secco (Andrea Lattanzi).
Ten year old Denni has a mission: to protect his mother from his violent father. He hires an assassin, a “super-killer”: Secco, who is not actually a criminal but a man desperately in need of money who he pretends to accept the job in order to steal from the boy’s father.
Denni and Secco are very different but have much in common, like two brothers who have rejected the paternal model and are now lost, unconsciously searching for a new way to be men.
Io e il Secco was shot in Emilia-Romagna, mostly in Ravenna, in Lido Adriano and Porto Corsini, and in Lugo and Cesenatico.

Io e il Secco was shot in Emilia-Romagna, mostly in Ravenna, in Lido Adriano and Porto Corsini, and in Lugo and Cesenatico.
Ten year old Denni has a mission: to protect his mother from his violent father. At his age, he can’t do it alone, so he decides to ask for help from an assassin for hire, a “super-killer”. He identifies Secco who is not a criminal but a hopeless mess who is desperately in need of money who pretends to accept the job in order to steal from the boy’s father. The encounter between Denni and Secco sets off an adventure that oscillates from drama to comedy, a child-sized buddy movie, somewhere between fantasy and a reality that is too very real. Denni and Secco have an experience that takes them to question the meaning of life, and the fear and mystery that unites and separates father and children.
