Netflix released the official teaser trailer for The Hand of God (È stata la mano di Dio), the Italian drama film from Academy Award-winning writer and director Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) that premiered at the 78th Venice International Film Festival.
The film stars Filippo Scotti, Toni Servillo, Teresa Saponangelo, Marlon Joubert, Luisa Ranieri, Renato Carpentieri, Massimiliano Gallo, Betti Pedrazzi, Biagio Manna, Ciro Capano, Enzo Decaro, Lino Musella and Sofya Gershevich.
The Hand of God opens in select theaters on December 3 and on Netflix on December 15, 2021.
The film tells the story of a young man’s heartbreak and liberation in 1980s Naples, Italy. The Hand of God follows Fabietto Schisa, an awkward Italian teen whose life and vibrant, eccentric family are suddenly upended—first by the electrifying arrival of soccer legend Diego Maradona and then by a shocking accident from which Maradona inadvertently saves Fabietto, setting his future in motion. Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most personal story, a tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss.
