Cruz plays central character Clara, a mother, in the Emanuele Crialese-directed movie.
Written by Emanuele, Francesca Manieri (The First King) and Vittorio Moroni (Terraferma), L’Immensita will give a portrait of a family in the 1970s during a turning point of Italian society.
‘L’immensita is the story of a symbiotic love, the one between Clara and her children, set in Rome in the ’70s; a world suspended between neighborhoods under construction and TV shows still in black and white, new social achievements and old family models,’ Emanuele told Variety earlier this year.
He said Penelope’s character embodies ‘an archetype that can only come to life through the artistic and human encounter with the sensitivity of a great actress like Penelope Cruz’.
