U.S. specialty distributor Shadow Distribution has acquired the North American rights to the Italian director Giorgio Diritti's powerful drama 'Lubo.' The film, which premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, centers around the story of a young man named Lubo, portrayed by Franz Rogowski, who belongs to a group of Yenish nomads. Set in 1939, Lubo is forced to serve in the Swiss military under the threat of the Nazi army.
Tragically, Lubo learns that his children have been taken away by Swiss authorities due to their ethnicity. His wife, who opposed the authorities, was also killed. Devastated by these events, Lubo decides to defect from the army and embarks on a 30-year-long journey to find his children.
