Diverso da Chi?
I think I just saw my future. I’m not sure if I should thank Anj for introducing this movie.
Diverso da Chi? (Different from Whom?) is a gay-themed movie directed by Umberto Riccioni Carteni. It is a love triangle set during the campaign period for local elections in an Italian City. Basically, it is about the gays’ fight for equal rights and battle against discrimination in a semi-liberated city, added with a twist of a queer affair between a gay man and a straight woman.
