Based on the bestselling novel by the same name Mariapia Veladiano (Einaudi, 2010), Life next door is set between the 1980s and 2000s and tells of an influential family from Vicenza made up of Maria (Valentina Belle), by her husband Osvaldo (Paolo Pierobon) and from the latter’s twin, Erminia (Sonia Bergamasco), accomplished pianist. Their life is turned upside down by an unpredictable event. Maria gives birth to Rebecca. The newborn, otherwise very normal and of great beauty, has a showy angioma that marks half of her face. That stain that nothing can erase and makes parents impotent and unhappy becomes an obsession for Maria that precipitates her into refusing the responsibilities of her mother. Rebecca’s entire adolescence will be marked by shame and a desire to hide from others. But she from an early age she reveals extraordinary musical abilities. Aunt Erminia recognizes her talent: Rebecca becomes her pupil and the need to erase the “stain” will push her to establish herself through music. For the role of teenage Rebecca, Giordana cast the young Italian pianist Beatrice Barison. The film, produced by Simone Gattoni and Beppe Caschetto, is a Kavac Film and IBC Movie production with Rai Cinema with the support of the Veneto Film Commission.
