U.S. PREMIERE
Q&A with Director Fabio Mollo, connecting live from Italy
About the film
Nata per te is the true story of Luca Trapanese and Alba, a man and a newborn baby who desperately need each other, even though the world around them is not yet ready to see them together.
The court of Naples is looking for a family willing to adopt Alba, a girl with Down Syndrome who has been left behind on the day of her birth. Luca is single with a compelling desire to be a father. How many "traditional" families will have to say no, and how much will Luca have to fight before he can be considered a suitable option?
