Set in Sicily, the film is an Italian-Ukraine co-production starring Irma Vitovska and Giovanni Calcagno. Shooting began just a few days ago on Koza Nostra, the feature film debut of Giovanni Dota, the 31-year-old Neapolitan director who previously worked as an assistant director on Gomorrah and authored the multi-award-winning short Fino alla fine. The film is a co-production between Italy and the Ukraine by Pepito Produzioni and Film.UA Group, together with Rai Cinema. Written by Giovanni Dota, Anastasiia Lodkina, Giulia Magda Martinez and Matteo Visconti, the story focuses on an interfering yet caring, mature Ukrainian woman, played by Ukrainian actress Irma Vitovska (My Thoughts Are Silent). When Vlada Koza becomes a grandma for the first time, she drops everything and departs the Carpathian Mountains to go to her daughter in Italy, turning up on her doorstep without a word of warning. Unfortunately, the younger woman doesn’t appreciate her mother’s suffocating.
