Italian film with LGBTQIA+ theme
24 April 2022
Directed by Marco Simon Puccioni, with Filippo Timi (Paolo), Francesco Scianna (Simone) and Francesco Gheghi (Leone).

Italian film with LGBTQIA+ theme that escapes from recent plots for cinema/streaming of the same genre by showing a gay couple, Paolo and Simone, on the eve of completing 20 years together, having a child born from an artificial insemination with surrogacy offered by a friend of Paulo. Leone, the teenage son, has to do a school project showing everyday life, using as a basis what the youth publish on social networks. At school, he meets Giulia, a French girl just living in Rome, falling in love immediately. Her idea, along with Jacopo, her best friend, is to tell her family's happy story in the video to be presented as a school project. It turns out that things are not as they seem to be and there will be a series of twists until the conclusion of the story, with DNA testing, betrayal, secrets revealed, parties, drugs, nature and consolidation of friendships. In the end, it shows that every couple, straight or homo, lives the same situations within a relationship.

Unpretentious film, with an interesting script, precisely because it doesn't fall into the most common clichés of LGBTQIA+ films, being a cute romantic comedy, just that. It's to relax, enjoy without thinking too much.
