Inspired by the life of the famous Rocco Granata, it’s the story of a child that fought with his conservative father to pursue his dream of being a singer. The film has already conquered Belgium, the country that Granata immigrated to, winning their “Diamond Award” (for the biggest box office sales).
Granata was born in Figline Vegliaturo, Calabria, southern Italy; but his parents immigrated to Belgium when he was ten. Rocco’s father was a coal miner, but Granata pursued music instead. He played accordion and toured Belgium with his band, ‘The International Quintet’. He then released the songs “Manuela” / “Marina” as a single in 1959; the B-side became an international hit, reaching #1 in Belgium and in Germany as well as charting across Europe and in the United States. It sold over one million copies in Germany alone, and was awarded a gold disc. It has been covered many times by artists such as Marino Marini, Ilham al-Madfai, Dalida and Louis Armstrong.
