Today we have two posters and 30 high resolution photos from Sergio Castellitto's melodrama Twice Born (aka Venuto al Mondo), starring Penelope Cruz, Emile Hirsch, Adnan Haskovic, Saadet Aksoy, Pietro Castellitto, Luca De Filippo, Jane Birkin, and Sergio Castellitto.
Penelope Cruz stars as a single mother who returns with her teen son to present-day Sarajevo where her son's father (Emile Hirsch) died during the Bosnian conflict of the 1990s.
Based on the novel of the same name by Margaret Mazzantini, Twice Born is expected to be released in U.S. theaters sometime next year, although a specific release date has not yet been confirmed.
Here's the synopsis for Twice Born:
Gemma leaves her comfortable apartment in Rome to visit Sarajevo with her son, Pietro. An exhibit commemorating the siege will include photographs by Pietro’s father, Diego. Sixteen years earlier, Gemma escaped the war-torn city with Pietro while Diego remained behind and later died. As she uses the visit to repair her difficult relationship with Pietro, she also confronts her past.
She first met and fell in love with Diego while visiting Sarajevo as a student in the 1980s. After many upheavals, the two lovers found passionate, if temporary, happiness. They desperately wanted children but Gemma could not conceive. As Sarajevo was being torn apart by the siege of 1992, they found a possible surrogate – Aska, a young and beautiful musician. Gemma pushed her into Diego's arms, only to be overwhelmed by guilt and jealousy. Now, a revelation awaits Gemma in Sarajevo that will force her to face the full extent of her loss, the true horror of war and the redemptive power of love.
