Banana is a 2015 comedy-drama film written and directed by Andrea Jublin.
For this film Jublin was nominated for David di Donatello for Best New Director.
Giovanni "Banana" is a boy who believes that in life one must seek happiness at all costs, at least for something, not for everything. That's why he works hard to win the love of Jessica, whom he wants to have in his class again next year. The only way to do that is to help her with the difficult task of avoiding failing the school year. To achieve his dreams, he knows he can rely only on himself, and he is willing to make sacrifices, fight, and endure hardship, because nothing in life is easy. After all, the rule of Brazilian football, of which Banana is a great fan, is that you have to attack with enthusiasm, but also with heart.
