BERLIN – February 10, 2012 – AmeriQua is a fresh new romantic comedy written by and starring Bobby Kennedy III, grandson of the late, legendary senator and civil rights activist Bobby Kennedy. The film’s incredibly talented cast includes Oscar-nominated Giancarlo Giannini, Emmy and Golden Globe-winner Alec Baldwin and rising star Alessandra Mastronardi. AmeriQua does such an excellent job of capturing the essence of Italy audience members will feel like they’ve had an extensive Italian vacation without ever having left the movie theater.

AmeriQua makes it’s world debut in Berlin today and plays again next Tuesday.

“We thrilled to be in Berlin with AmeriQua, the perfect place to premiere this unique and refreshing romantic comedy,” said Robbie Little of The Little Film Company, international sales agent for the film. “We think audiences of all ages will be delighted and touched by this clever and funny film, chock full of wonderful talent.”

AmeriQua is the story of a lazy recent graduate, Charlie (Bobby Kennedy III), whose rich parents cut him off with a $5000 check and an ultimatum to start a life of independence and responsibility. Instead, Charlie buys a plane ticket to Italy, gets robbed upon arrival and winds up in Bologna in the care of his new friend Lele (Lele Gabellone), the self-proclaimed King of Bologna, who lives with a eccentric cast of characters that include scraggly punkabbestia, Badoo (Gianlucca Bazzoli), and Il Pisa (Giuseppe Sanfelice) who has an insatiable appetite for prostitutes.

In Bologna, Lele teaches Charlie the subtle strategies that “the King” knows so well, namely hitting on Italian women, throwing all-night parties and inciting general chaos. Charlie takes to it like a pro and in the process meets two tantalizing women, the dangerously beautiful Valentina (Alessandra Mastronardi) and all-American Jessica (Eva Amurri). Amidst his reluctance to grow up and a plethora of cultural confusion, Charlie finds himself on the bad side of two vicious mafia bosses, Don Fercanne (Giancarlo Giannini) and Don Farina (Ernesto Mahieux).

What chance does a timid American kid, who doesn't speak Italian and hangs out with sloppy Italian party hounds, have against the dark forces of organized crime in Italy?

AmeriQua is directed by Marco Bellone and Giovanni Consonni and is produced by Jabadoo Productions.
