Lovely Boy

Synopsis

Niccolò, aka Lovely Boy, is a star of the Roman trap scene in dizzying rise and equally dizzying fall. Tattoos on his face, pure talent, a total disregard for the rest of the world. The film alternates present events with scenes from the year before. On the one hand is the story of his success in the music panorama and on social media, and his gradual fall into the abyss of drugs. On the other are his rehabilitation at the Nuovo Orizzonte in South Tyrol and his difficult path to recovery from addiction. Present and past are in constant dialogue with each other, showing the audience Niccolò's two parallel lives: the frenetic, increasingly extreme one in Rome, and the one in South Tyrol, made of silence, introspection and human revelations.
