L'oratore

Felice is a twenty-year-old from a working-class area who uses money from a loan shark to buy a grand piano. With the help of a peer named Noemi, he performs for tourists and pedestrians in the squares of Campania. After a dispute with a security guard results in the destruction of his instrument, Felice flees from his creditors into a church. While there, he is dressed in formal attire and sent to an altar to deliver a commemorative speech for a stranger. His spontaneous and moving words lead him to a new path as a professional funeral orator.

This Italian drama was written and directed by Marco Pollini. The film features a cast including Manuel Nucera in the lead role of Felice, alongside Sofia Fici as Noemi and Mauro Cerminara as the security guard. Other cast members include Giorgio Colangeli, Pasquale Greco, and Gianluca Sia. The production was handled by Ahora! Film and the Calabria Film Commission, with Evelyn Bruges serving as producer.
