Lia

Lia, a nothing scary little monster that inhabits the room under the bed of the girl Ana, leaves her hiding place at night while the child sleeps. Between unsuccessful attempts to frighten the girl, who no longer fears her peripécias, receives an unexpected visit and, with her, the news that she needs to leave.

Directed by Giulia Donato, Lia leans on a strong ensemble — Lívia Feltre, Gabriel Antunes — 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 family titles of 2017.
