What happens

Padrenostro (Italian pronunciation: [ˌpadreˈnɔstro]; lit. 'Our Father') is a 2020 Italian coming-of-age drama film co-written and directed by Claudio Noce. It was selected to be shown in the main competition section of the 77th Venice International Film Festival. At Venice, Pierfrancesco Favino won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor. The film is loosely based on the 1976 assassination attempt of deputy police commissioner Alfonso Noce, Noce's father, by far-left terrorist group Nuclei Armati Proletari, during the Years of Lead.
