MI HERMANO PERSIGUE DINOSAURIOS
Dubbed in Spanish
Young Audience Award at the European Film Awards, a film based on the true story of Giacomo Mazzariol, a young Italian whose video interviewing his brother with Down syndrome went viral, and who would later publish the bestseller My Brother Chases Dinosaurs. Today in motion picture form, the story tells with humour the process experienced by Giacomo, "Jack", from the moment he is told that he is going to have a brother who will be very special (this for him, this means that he will be a superhero), until he realises what this really means for him and his family, all within Jack's own journey to adolescence. A family comedy featuring Rossy de Palma.
