THIS IS 'ARRIBA TUTTO,' JOSÉ MOTA'S NEW FILM

The story of "Arriba Tutto" is set in 1905 and follows Michi, a seven-year-old boy whose childhood changes radically after the violent death of his father, a traveling artist who had taught him to find magic and humor in life's small moments.

Over the years, the cheerful boy becomes a bitter, violent man consumed by resentment. However, his life takes an unexpected turn when Conchita, his childhood sweetheart, reappears. Their reunion allows him to recover some of his lost hope and see the world once again through his father's eyes.

The film combines humor, emotion and personal relationships in a story about second chances, love and the ability to reclaim what seemed lost. The film will be released in cinemas this Friday, October 9.
