Caught this on Amazon Prime (Moon Landing) and really enjoyed it. A story of family , hope and dreams.
Both actors. Giuseppe Battiston and. Stefano Fresi play brothers who hav.nt seen each other for a while due to family issues. Battiston (Dario Cavalieri) is tasked with taking care of his brother Fresi (Mario) who has been in truble with the law for arson as he trialed his first rocket launcvh which didint go to plan.
Both brothers begin to bond more and more - Wait for the finale !
All in all a really nice film with great mores and brilliantly acted.
Incidentally the music score by. Pino Donaggio is fantastic. Recommended.
Plot summary
At the age of six, Dario watched the first moon flight on television. Since then, his dream has been to fly to the moon. For the past three decades, the ingenious but difficult by nature Dario has been building a moon rocket on his farm in the Veneto countryside. Rocket technology represents applied rocket science. Its systems are implemented on a do-it-yourself basis, and the components are obtained from the local hardware store. The initial launch of the rocket fails. The neighbor's cornfield burns down and Dario is arrested. When his Roman brother Mario hears about the difficulties that have arisen, he goes to his aid and Italy's secret space program finally gets going.

Just saw this beautiful film at a sneak preview before its official theatrical release later this month. What a beautiful, beautiful movie! It's not easy to find this sweet lightness in Italian cinema. "Il Grande Passo" is a modern fairy tale, funny, sweet, moving, led by two great actors, Giuseppe Battiston and Stefano Fresi (Battiston the best among the two of them). Despite a slow start, the movie enchantes you with a magical musical score (by master Pino Donaggio), a soft cinematography and a great group of supporing performers (Camilla Filippi's pretty role deserved more screentime). Even the visual effects are amazing. Director Antonio Padovan gives the best in the most magic moments of the film (the flashbacks of Mario with his father, the grand finale) while some comedy sequences are a bit less inspired. Overall, a great little jem that deserves a long life in the the darkness of a movie theatre. Don't miss it!
