A funeral, two old scooters and a trip that neither of the two brothers would probably imagine doing together. 50 km per hour is the comedy directed by Fabio De Luigi, who is also protagonist along with Stefano Accorsi. The film, released in the theatres in 2024, recounts the journey of two men who find themselves after years of distance and are forced to deal with a firm relationship. At the cinema the film has cashed approximately 2,25 million euros in Italy. 50 km per hour airs on Wednesday 19 August on Canale 5.
The film is also inspired by the German comedy 25 km/h, directed by Markus Goller and written by Oliver Ziegenbalg, from which the idea of the journey on the road faced by two brothers on old scooters
The title originates directly from the medium chosen by the two protagonists for their journey. Rocco and Guido cross Italy in the saddle with two old mopeds, far from the performance of modern cars. The speed also becomes a narrative component: proceeding 50 kilometers per hour means having ahead much more time to talk, observe the landscape and, above all, confront the person who is next to you. The film thus transforms the road journey into a path through the relationship between the two brothers.
La trama
