This is a film about a severely disabled man achieving a university career. The moon appears in the whole film about twice...so i don't see the point of the title but how would you translate it: the son of the moon, son of the moon, the moon's son (or is that like "the film's end" which is gramatically wrong, moonchild, child of the moon ? Help! Saturday afternoon block!

the son of the moon
the night when Fulvio was born his mother was constantly looking at the moon. I saw the film on tv in February, it is based on a real event.
