Luca tells the story of an eponymous boy who experiences an unforgettable summer on the Italian Riviera.
Casarosa said that Luca was a personal project for him because it was set where he grew up and told the story of a friendship. “So, in addition to the beauty and charm of the Italian seaside, our film will feature an unforgettable summer adventure that will fundamentally change Luca,” Casarosa told variety.com.
