Lies with Legs and an Italian Accent
In a picturesque village in the Italian Alps, where goats might have Instagram and bells mark the rhythm of the day, lives Angelina. This teenager, with more good intentions than social skills, achieves the unthinkable: ruining the most beloved local festival by accident. The solution? Making up excuses. The problem? Every excuse turns into a magical creature with less patience than a grandmother without her soap opera.
An Explosive Duo in Search of Redemption
Angelina, like a good troublemaking protagonist, doesn't travel alone. Her adventure companion is the Badalisc, a folkloric creature with one function in life: telling uncomfortable truths. Think of him as a lie detector with legs, horns, and zero filters. While she tries to hide her mistake, he drops bombs of sincerity as if it's part of the script.
“A truth in time can save a festival. Or at least prevent a goat of smoke and fire from chasing you.” – Unofficial guide to magical Alpine survival
From Hollywood to the Heart of the Alps
Lino DiSalvo, known for adding magic to films like Frozen, returns with this story where Italy is not just a screensaver, but part of the chaos. Inspired by a real legend and with the ambition to mix fantasy, culture, and humor without burning the script, DiSalvo turns family truths into walking, roaring monsters that probably snore.
A Movie for Anyone Who Has Ever Lied
Twisted is not limited to a child audience. Amid laughter, embarrassing situations, and creatures that seem designed during a nap, there is room to reflect on white lies... and not-so-white ones. It's one of those stories that makes you laugh and think while deciding whether to confess that you broke the lamp.
- Italian setting with folkloric monsters
- Characters with charisma and charming neuroses
- An honest message disguised as animated chaos
Cannes Will Witness the First Magical Lie
Before hitting theaters, Twisted will show its first scenes at the Cannes Film Market. The global premiere is still a bit far off, but the anticipation is already palpable. After all, who doesn't want to see what happens when your lies turn into real monsters? Just be careful what you say... because animation turns it into a plot.
The moral is clear: lying is easy, but silencing a magical monster that contradicts you out loud in the middle of an Italian square is another story. Literally. 😅
