In early-'80s Sicily, the unhappy life of bullied gay teen Gianni (Samuele Segreto) would change for the better when he fell hard for adolescent Nino (Gabriele Pizzurro). The boys' open affection for one another met with intense pushback from their disapproving families-and their determination to stay together would culminate in stunning tragedy. Sobering, fact-inspired opus also stars Simona Malato, Fabrizia Sacchi, Antonio de Matteo, Simone Raffaele Cordiano. 134 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Italian; Subtitles: English. In Italian with English subtitles.
