The Son is the adaptation of the hit theater play The son, performed on stage by Stéphane Freiss, Rod Paradot, Elodie Navarre and Florence Darel. In his version on the big screen, Florian Zeller bet on the talents of the famous Wolverine Hugh Jackman. This one went to Venice accompanied by his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, displaying his solid and glamorous couple. Parents of Oscar and Ava, they have been in a relationship for twenty-six years and nothing seems to be able to reach their duo. Love, but filial, is at the heart of the feature film The Son which tells how a father will try to save his seventeen-year-old son, plagued by illness.
The preview of The Son was also marked by the very sensual arrivals of two top models: the Portuguese Sara Sampaio and the Russian Natasha Poly. The first bet on a long sequined dress and her bare back to make the flashes crackle, while the second trusted Dolce & Gabbana, her original corset and her slit skirt to sublimate her silhouette. British royalty were also on hand with their representative Sarah Ferguson. In green, a color that suits her red hair perfectly, the ex-wife of the controversial Prince Andrew took pleasure in posing in front of the photographers.
