Stranizza d'amuri / Fireworks (2023)

   

Sicily, Summer of 1982. Whilst the whole of Italy has gathered to the televisions to see the World Cup, the lives of two boys are about to change completely. 17-year old Gianni, bullied by his friends for being gay and only supported by his mother Lina, sees his life change, when through a moped accident, he meets 16-year old Nino. A great friendship is born between them, which will turn into a feeling that the boys will be forced to keep secret, due to the Southern Italian prejudices at the time.
