Daniele Lucchetti, the veteran Italian director of The Ties, which opened the 2020 Venice Film Festival, is back behind the camera with Your Little Matter (Dove Non Mi Hai Portata), a drama about a young writer who confronts his parents’ dark past, led by rising Italian talent Tekla Insoria.
Co-produced by Italy’s Fandango and Vision Distribution, filming began on Wednesday and they will also jointly handle international sales.
One of Europe’s shooting stars screened at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, Insoria broke out in the Sky original miniseries The Art of Joy, playing a Sicilian woman born into poverty in the early 20th century who seeks freedom from social constraints. Your Little Matter (first look image below) tells the story of author Maria Grazia, driven by a desire to uncover her origins, and traces the story of her birth mother, who left her on a checkered blanket next to a bush in Rome’s Villa Borghese in 1965. Insoria will play the role of her biological mother.
A true story based on the Italian autobiographical novel written by Maria Grazia Calandrone.

“Through fragments of memory, secrets, and silence, Maria Grazia pieces together the mosaic of her family’s history on a journey that explores the meaning of motherhood and the universal desire to know where we come from,” the synopsis provided reads.
In addition to Insoria, Luchetti’s latest drama also stars Margherita Bui, Alessandro Preziosi, Marcello Fonte and Nicola Lignanese.
Your Little Matter is a co-production between Italy’s Fandango and Vision Distribution and Spain’s BTeam Prods.
Lucchetti is one of Italy’s top directors, with credits including the third season of RAI/HBO’s Elena Ferrante TV series My Brilliant Friend, the Elio Germano film My Brother is an Only Child, and the fairly widely sold 2024 film Trust.
