In the heart of the Berlinale, a unique film is making waves - "Paternal Leave," a co-production between Germany and Italy. This thought-provoking movie marks the directorial debut of Luca Marinelli's wife, Alissa Jung, who has previously directed several short films.

"Paternal Leave" delves into complex themes, exploring the choices left in the past and their shadows that mark the present. The story revolves around a German teenager who embarks on a journey to Italy to meet her father, an Italian man living on the Romagna Riviera. The initial encounter between the teenager and her father is meant to be sweet, but it quickly turns into a harsh and painful confrontation.

Luca Marinelli, a well-known Italian actor, is at the centre of the film. His recent popularity can be attributed to his role in the series "M - The Son of the Century" by Joe Wright. Marinelli's performance in "Paternal Leave" promises to be just as captivating.

As the director of "Paternal Leave," Alissa Jung has proven that this film is not about simple themes. Her debut directorial project is a testament to her vision and storytelling abilities.
