IFF26 Nino. 18 Days

Directed by his son Toni D'Angelo, this touching documentary about Neapolitan singer/actor Nino D'Angelo explores the story of an artist who has crossed genres, stages, and generations, while remaining true to his roots. In the 1980s, Nino D'Angelo had the most famous blonde bob in Italy after Raffaella Carrà. Now his hair is grey, he now composes his music in a small studio, and he lives in Rome, surrounded by his large family. In 2024, his concert at the Maradona Stadium in Naples is a definitive farewell to the 1980s, and sharing the moment with him, behind the camera, is his son Toni. In Nino. 18 Days, Toni D'Angelo follows his father on this tour around Italy. As Toni questions Nino about who he was and how he rose to success, he also takes him back to his childhood, to San Pietro a Patierno in Naples where he grew up, to Casoria where Nino became a man, a singer, and a father, recording intimate moments as they try to reclaim lost time and reconnect.
