My Tennis Maestro
Open Roads: New Italian Cinema 2026
May 28 - June 4
Andrea Di Stefano’s bighearted 1980s-set sports comedy pairs a 13-year-old budding tennis star (Tiziano Menichelli) and a flameout former pro with a serious ladies-man streak (Pierfrancesco Favino) on a shared journey of training and competing along the Italian coast.
A sports comedy with a big heart, the latest from Andrea Di Stefano reteams the director with his Last Night of Amore star Pierfrancesco Favino for a charming, sensitive tale of the crushing expectations levied upon young athletic prodigies. Set in the late 1980s, the film follows 13-year-old Felice (an exceptional Tiziano Menichelli), a budding tennis star whose overbearing father hooks him up with Raul Getti (Favino), a flameout former pro with a new lithium prescription and a serious ladies-man streak. Raul and Felice set off on a shared journey of training and competing along the Italian coast as Felice struggles to figure out his identity outside of his on-the-court gifts, while Raul questions whether his eminently laid-back approach is a good fit for his star pupil.
