Lorenzo (RIMAU RITZBERGER GRILLO) a flamboyant teenager has just been adopted from a home in Turin and has now been brought back to this small town by his new parents. Faced with the task of starting in a new school where he knows he will be taunted for his outfits and attitude, he attempts to diffuse the situation by disarming his classmates by just being more outrageous and daring them to take him on. In the first of a few very camp scenes we see him burst into song and dance the moment he hits the school gates, playing out what he imagines would be his triumphant entry in a perfect world….

Notes
… an insightful teen drama that adroitly tackles a whole slew of issues such as homophobia, bullying and date-rape sex. Despite the serious nature of it’s subject matter, the movie opens on a very sunny note infusing such warmth and humor throughout that doesn’t prepare one at all for the latter part with it’s very dark twist to the plot.
