Leonardo

Leonardo, whose real name is Michael, wants new white teeth—because everyone has them now. Only unsuccessful people still have yellow ones. So he needs 150 euros, which he doesn’t have, since he’s got more credit record entries than cash. On the streets, the law of the strongest applies—if you don’t have something, you take it, and Leonardo takes it. But the watch he steals turns out to be a fake, and he decides to simply return it to its owner. Luck, however, arrives a little later…

Directed by Sophia Groening, Leonardo leans on a strong ensemble — Timocin Ziegler, Giuseppe Pennino, Aissa El Mkllaki — 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 screen titles of 2025.
