Luca is an unfocused high-school student, fond of boxing and rap music. Bruno is an author relegated to ghostwriting memoirs of second-tier celebrities who supplements his income with tutoring. Luca is one of his favorite students, but their relationship shifts when Bruno is told that he is the boy’s father and is asked to look after him for a significant period of time. Shifting intelligently between comedic and dramatic moments, Easy! explores the difference between serving a parental role and actual parenting, and features a scene-stealing performance by Barbora Bobulova as a smarter-than-she-seems porn star whose life story Bruno is writing.
