, Miniero has been shooting a family comedy on the tension between Italy’s North and South, with starkly opposing ways of life. Cristina (Paola Cortellesi) is an energetic southern woman who has decided to build a life for herself and her family by moving to a northern town together with Michele Coso (Luca Argentero) and their two sons. Her perfect family life and her convictions around northern identity will be challenged by the arrival of some news: her brother Ciro (Rocco Papaleo), who she hasn’t seen for fifteen years, is implicated in a Camorra trial. Ciro will turn her plans upside down when he asks her to come and spend his domestic arrest sentence in her home.

The film, produced by Cattleya in partnership with Warner Bros Italy, was filmed between Bolzano, Bressanone, San Candido and Rome and will be distributed by Warner next year. Un boss in salotto was the first Italian film to live stream from the set, an innovative experiment which meant the public had access to filming live for the first time, showing scenes being prepared, shooting, and the director as well as the actors’ work. The film can be followed on Facebook, Vine and Twitter through hashtag #setminiero.
