A curiosity, to produce 'Figli', whose first clapperboard was shot on September 16, 2019, was with Wildside, Lorenzo Mieli, historical producer and great friend of Mattia who had announced the realization of the film during the commemoration evening organized at Ambra Jovinelli theater in Rome during the summer. "I miss Torre a lot - said Giuseppe Bonito -. Everything was so sudden. Mattia called me and said he needed a support director. I immediately said yes." And still the director on the spirit of the film: "It is a typical trait of his writing capable of moving from reality to surreality, from boldness to the unconscious and all this with changes of register from comic to tragic". For Paola Cortellesi the film is not just a story of children: "Of course there is the difficult balance of a couple to maintain in a long relationship, but Figli is above all a work on love. I found myself in many things that happen - added the actress - because Mattia Torre does not only tell surreal things, but surreal things ".

And that the film is certainly not just a way to talk about children is also Mastandrea's opinion: "It's not just about children - said the actor -, but rather about how to resist the shocks of life". Cult character of the film, the one played by Stefano Fresi, a journalist friend of Nicola who lives perpetually whipped by his two sons who rage on his shoulders with their plastic pipes.
