“Giulia” is the third feature by De Caro, who is specialized in young adult dramas. His debut “Spaghetti Story” travelled quite widely on the festival circuit, including to the Moscow and Reykjavik fests, while his sophomore film “Late Winter Rain” launched from the Rome Film Festival’s Alice in the City section, dedicated to cinema for young audiences.
