This is a story about a teenage boy making a documentary for school about his family. He has two dads and uses the film to show all the difficulties these two men faced throughout the last 20 years.
It is a sweet movie, in a sweet language - Italian.
Social Awareness
Fortunately, the LGBTQ community issues in many different areas are nowadays more often shown in shows and movies. So why is this one different? Because it is not about them, it is about the boy.
How would you feel if you could not be, legally speaking, son of both your parents? Why should technicalities define your family? This kid shows resilience to deal with so many things he shouldn’t have to.
The documentary for school is super sweet. Perhaps because of that, the movie looks so thoughtful. They were able to deal with a social complex theme with humor and naturalness.
Drama
The film is a drama, but you might forget that at some point because it has so many funny lines and hilarious scenes. That makes everything lighter because it could have been a very dark movie if you think it through.
We are talking about a rough divorce, full of accusations and grief. The petty vengeance associated with it is very ugly but, unfortunately, quite common. The pain in the adults and the kid is scarily relatable to many of us.
Yet, they did it in such a funny way that it’s delicious to watch. The best comic scene to me is in the hospital. When the old man in the next bed is observing and trying to follow the complications of that unusual family. His facial expressions are the best.
Light and funny movie
I liked the movie very much. It is light, funny, and worth watching. It talks about connection, love, and family in the real sense of the word. We all make mistakes, and we can solve them if we genuinely love each other.
It is a happy ending movie without feeling like a cliche. It makes you feel good.
