synopsis
The film looks at the relationships of nine gay and lesbian couples. It begins with Alessandro and Marco, two university students from Catania, and continues on to Versailles with Nathalie, Valérie and their little daughter Sasha. In Paris, 60-somethings Catherine and Christine have been together for 20 years. Then there are Lillo and Claudio, who live in Sutri, a small town near Rome. Thomas and Johan have been living in Berlin happily for a number of years. Emiliana and Lorenza have been living in their beautiful little house between Parma and Mantova for seven years. Gino and Massimo of Palermo have been in love and working together for 30 years. Gaël and William have also lived and worked together for many years, in Paris. Lastly, Spanish spouses Maria and Marisol live in the countryside near Barcelona. Luca Zingaretti introduces the film reciting a text by Aldo Nove, and Ursula Ferrara ties the various stories together with her short animated films.
How can one love, today? The answers given by Stefano Consiglio and the couples he met in four European countries are scandalously normal, simple like the feelings of a group of children who open this story of many voices. Can homosexual love be lived in the harmony, clarity, contradictions, passions and duration that have always been common models in speaking of feelings? The incredible naturalness of the subjects in the film is powerful and destined to leave an impression on our reflections. As are the shame of marginalization, fear and diffidence of which Aldo Nove speaks in the brief novella that precedes the life stories that weave the plot, in between the explosions of color of Ursula Ferrara’s animated designs.
