Antonio (Renato Carpentieri) has spent nearly his entire life in Luxembourg, far removed from his Italian homeland. Now an aging widower, he lives a solitary existence until crossing paths with Leo (Sara Serraiocco), a fellow ex-pat and aspiring nightclub VJ. Past and present collide as the old man and young woman discover the similar destinies they both share abroad.
Exploring “loyalties and betrayals, marriages and deaths, relationships and regrets with all the skill of a novelist” (Screen Daily), Donato Rotunno’s IO STO BENE is a moving look at immigrant experiences, which was Luxembourg’s Official Entry for Best International Feature at the 94th Academy Awards.
