Volevo un figlio maschio

Alberto, a father of three daughters, prays to the stars that his next child will be a boy, with whom he can share his passions and escape from a life dominated by women. However, his wish is granted only too well.

Directed by Neri Parenti, Volevo un figlio maschio leans on a strong ensemble — Enrico Brignano, Giulia Bevilacqua, Maurizio Casagrande — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2023.
