The movie "Amusia" produced by UMI Films and RAI Cinema and directed by a very promising director Marescotti Ruspoli won the Audience Award at 26th Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival and has been selected for Bif&st 2023 in competition in the section “Panorama Internazionale”.
Amusia from the Greek “a-musia”, literally “lack of harmony”, is a biological musical disorder that causes inability to process, understand and recognize music. In a world saturated with music, a girl is born without the means to hear it. Her disease is called Amusia: it exists but nobody knows about it; it tortures her but nobody believes it. A lonely childhood, spent defending herself from accusations and prejudice, pushes her to run away and end up in a suburban reality, a forgotten and slightly oneiric microcosm in which a boy fights his own solitude through music as he tries to prevent his dreams from rotting away. A love story between two people that turn out to be not so different after all.
"Amusia" talent cast includes Carlotta Gamba, Giampiero De Concilio, Maurizio Lombardi and Fanny Ardant.
The film was produced with the contribution of the Ministry of Culture, and with the support of Regione Emilia Romagna, Emilia Romagna Film Commission and with the support of Regione Lazio Cinema and Audiovisual Regional Fund, and Roma Lazio Film Commission.
