From the web to the cinema
In the film, young Giuseppe longs for more freedom as he faces school, but an episode involving a thrown clog and a lightning bolt leads to a body swap with his mother. This transformation sets off a series of hilarious and thoughtful events, making the film a journey full of twists and turns. Giuseppe Ninno expresses his enthusiasm for the project, noting, "Today I can say, in part, that I have realized a dream."** Made by a group of talented professionals, the film aims to convey laughter and emotion.
The theatrical show “Let's Embarrass ourselves”
In parallel with the cinematic success, the theater offers another dimension for the characters of the Imbarazzi Family with the theatrical show “Imbarazziamoci”. Performed solely by Mandrake, the show includes improvisations and interactions with the audience, making it an unmissable event for all age groups. With a calendar of shows that spans several Italian cities, the tour promises to be full of sold out dates. Spectators interested in purchasing tickets can consult the main online pre-sale circuits such as Ticketone, Vivaticket and Ciaotickets.

The movie looks interesting and fun, but I don't know if the plot is really that original. The combination of hoof and lightning is a bit weird, but it could work. I hope the animations are high quality and the characters are well developed.
