Puberty is never easy. But in the latest film from Academy Award® winning director Gabriele Salvatores (MEDITARRANEO), a 13-year-old boy faces unusual growing pains when he discovers that his Halloween costume makes him invisible. Set in the northern Italian city of Trieste, THE INVISIBLE BOY follows Mickey, a shy and awkward boy who lives with his widowed mother and tries to stay hidden from the school bullies. When he turns up at a Halloween party in a cheap, flimsy superhero costume and is thoroughly mocked for it, he locks himself in a bathroom, where he discovers that he can become invisible. Although initially thrilled at this discovery, Mickey's life is suddenly complicated by the appearance of a mysterious blind man and the disappearance of several classmates. As the local police psychologist begins to take interest in him, Mickey must make sense of his new superpower and keep his loved ones safe. As a family-oriented action film with naturalistic performances from its young actors, THE INVISIBLE BOY is a superhero story with a human touch.
