Padrenostro (Italian pronunciation: [ˌpadreˈnɔstro]; lit. 'Our Father') is a 2020 Italian coming-of-age drama film co-written and directed by Claudio Noce. It was selected to be shown in the main competition section of the 77th Venice International Film Festival.[4][5] At Venice, Pierfrancesco Favino won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor.[6]

The film is loosely based on the 1976 assassination attempt of deputy police commissioner Alfonso Noce, Noce's father, by far-left terrorist group Nuclei Armati Proletari, during the Years of Lead.[7]

Plot[edit]

Rome, 1976. 10-years-old Valerio witnesses together with his mother a failed assassination attempt on his father Alfonso by a terrorist commando. From that moment on, fear and a constant sense of vulnerability dramatically mark the feelings of the whole family. That summer, Valerio meets Christian, a boy slightly older than him. Lonely, rebellious, and bold, he seems to have come out of nowhere. Their meeting will change his life forever.
