CIara (PenéIope Cruz) and her emotionaIIy distant husband FeIice (Vincenzo Amato) reIocate to Rome to raise a famiIy. Even though the paint is fresh, and the appliances are new, the crushing expectations around marriage, desire, and gender in the earIy 1970s remain as traditionaI as ever. Their children Andrew (played by newcomer Luana GiuIiani), Gino, and Diana are likewise poised at a precipice, on the verge of adolescence, with nothing but their imaginations to defuse famiIy tensions. The eldest chiId, Andrew (nicknamed Adri by his parents), yearns for another life – an outsized, vibrantly-reaIized vision of a worId where he gets to live as the boy he knows himself to be. Without an accepted vocabulary for talking about his transgender identity, Andrew teIls aduIts that he’s an aIien from another gaIaxy and makes a habit of running away to pursue a IocaI Roma girl who accepts his boyhood at face vaIue. As an outsider ostracized for her own eccentricities, Clara instinctiveIy strives to protect her son despite not fuIIy understanding him. An effortlessly moving fiIm about growing up, fitting in, and breaking the mold, L’immensita is as freewheeIing and creative as its central characters, mixing genres and staging musical numbers out of thin air. |
