Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio
During the rise of fascism in Mussolini's Italy, a wooden boy brought magically to life struggles to live up to his father's expectations.

The story revolves around a teenage romance between students, which their respective parents dismiss as a crush. Then, in a twist of events, the girl achieves her dream of becoming a doctor.
