Happy as Lazzaro (Lazzaro felice) (2018) This is the tale of a meeting between Lazzaro, a young peasant so good that he is often mistaken for simple-minded, and Tancredi, a young nobleman cursed by his imagination. Life in their isolated pastoral village Inviolata is dominated by the terrible Marchesa Alfonsina de Luna, the queen of cigarettes. A loyal bond is sealed when Tancredi asks Lazzaro to help him orchestrate his own kidnapping. This strange and improbable alliance is a revelation for Lazzaro. A friendship so precious that it will travel in time and transport Lazzaro in search of Tancredi. His first time in the big city, Lazzaro is like a fragment of the past lost in the modern world.Awards: 19 wins & 53 nominationsBudget: ‘?’5,200,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $1,802,696Soundtrack: Dreams (Will Come Alive) (Written by Martin Boer, Bobby Boer and D-Rock (as Rene Phillips))
