Luca (2021)

Luca is a warm, sun-drenched coming-of-age adventure about a shy boy who hides a remarkable secret: he’s a sea monster who can pass for human on land. Set on the picturesque Italian Riviera, the film follows Luca and his bold new friend Alberto as they eat gelato, race on scooters, and explore the seaside village of Portorosso—all while keeping their true identities hidden. Watching Luca you’ll be swept up by vivid, colorful animation and playful seaside scenes, laugh at the boys’ mischief, feel the thrill of their adventures, and share in quieter, heartfelt moments about family, belonging, and the courage it takes to be yourself. It’s light, funny, and touching—perfect for families and anyone who enjoys a gentle, emotionally satisfying story about friendship and acceptance.
