Lorenzo, Blu, Antonio.
Sixteen years old, and three different reasons to be mocked by your schoolmates: gay, easy, stupid.
This is the story of their great friendship, which could have been stronger than their fears. And of a small kiss that turns their lives upside down.
A hymn to life, a journey through the most difficult and beautiful of ages, an indictment of bullying, homophobia, and all the patterns that keep us from being happy.
“I'm not afraid to say that I care deeply about this film, for the themes it addresses and how it addresses them. For the importance, even personal, that telling this story has for me, the mechanics of bullying, the risk of unhappiness, the danger for young people, at this precise moment in history.” Ivan Cotroneo
On Tuesday, February 14, at 6:00 p.m., at the Feltrinelli bookshop in Naples (Piazza dei Martiri), Ivan Cotroneo and Claudio Finelli will present the home video version of the film Un Bacio (A Kiss) for Valentine's Day.
