The young adult comedy will have its global debut on the streamer this fall.
Amazon Studios has unveiled the start of production on its first Italian original movie.
The streaming giant on Tuesday unveiled plans for the young adult comedy Anni da cane (Dog Years), directed by Fabio Mollo (South Is Nothing) and written by Mary Stella Brugiati and Alessandro Bosi. The film is produced by Notorious Pictures and will launch exclusively on Amazon Prime Video this fall in 240 countries and territories worldwide.
The project tells the story of Stella, "a clumsy, cynical, imaginative and tormented teenage girl," according to a plot description. "After a life-changing car accident involving a dog, she convinces herself she must count her age in dog years: one year of her life counts for seven, and now that she’s turning 16, she is a centennial. For this reason, Stella thinks she has not much time left to live and pens a bucket list of all the things she would like to achieve before she dies."
With the help of her best friends, she begins to live life in the fast lane, but a chance encounter with the shy Matteo "will make her question everything and completely change her perspective."
"We are excited to bolster the thriving Amazon scripted originals slate in Europe with this unique Italian story," said Georgia Brown, head of European originals, Amazon Studios. "Our first Italian Amazon original movie, Anni da cane, will add to our compelling array of scripted shows currently in production in Italy, including Bang Bang Baby, Everybody Loves Diamonds and Vita da Carlo. This is a fascinating story and one we hope will become a must-see movie for Prime Video viewers around the world."
Nicole Morganti, head of Amazon originals, Italy called the film "an important milestone for Amazon Studios" in the country. "We are excited to kick off our movie production with a prestigious partner such as Notorious Pictures and a creative team of young, talented filmmakers. With the invaluable support of this amazing crew, we will offer viewers a wholly different story filled with comedy, tenderness and sensitivity that will speak directly to our younger audiences in their own language."
