MARINA

Italy, 1948. Young Rocco is growing up in impoverished Calabria. One day his father Salvatore decides to move the family to Belgium where he can earn a lot of money by working in the coalmines. Rocco becomes a migrant overnight, but he wants to fit in and make something of himself. His talent with the accordion helps a lot. Against his father's wishes and better judgment, Rocco seeks an escape through music.

This raucous story is based on the childhood memories of the beloved vocalist Rocco Granata and named after one of his biggest hits.

Running Time: 118 Minutes / Not Rates
