In Luca Lucini’s film My Brother and I, available on Prime Video, even the secondary characters have great dignity and the right three-dimensionality, for example Teresa Mannino’s Aunt Tecla and the protagonist’s roommate Alessandro, played by Claudio Colica. We interviewed the two actors together with the director.
Luke Lucini he knows how to direct sentimental comedies that have something extra, probably a light but not superficial touch, as well as characters and situations that make one think of sophisticated Hollywood comedies.

There is also the family, as the title suggests, and love in its various forms and declinations.

They belong to this second group Alessandrowho is the roommate and best friend of Sofia (Denise Tantucci), and the aunt Key, a free and unscrupulous fifty-year-old woman. They are the ones who interpret them Claudius Colicain his first attempt in front of the camera, e Teresa Manninowhich he defined Key “fun and delicious”.
