Plot / Synopsis:
A couple engage in discussions with people on the street, politicians and religious leaders about the discrimination against gays and lesbians in Italy.
In this documentary, co-directors and longtime domestic partners Gustav Hofer and Luca Ragazzi delve deeper into the controversy surrounding the 2007 “DICO” legislation, which proposed granting rights to cohabiting same-sex couples in Italy. As Hofer and Ragazzi monitor the bill’s slow progress through the Italian political system, they interview politicians, representatives of the Roman Catholic Church and average Italians, trying to understand just how this radical new law will be received.
In 2006, a general election in Italy gave a slim majority to a center-left coalition that promised legislation to provide civil unions and other rights to gay couples. In 2007, the government proposed a piece of moderate legislation, “diritti di coppie conviventi” (rights for cohabiting couples) or DICOs; it’s quickly clear they face tough sledding in the Senate. Luca Ragazzi and Gustav Hofer, a couple for eight years, with camera in hand, follow the Senate proceedings weekly, seek interviews with politicians, attend anti-DICO rallies, and ask questions of persons in the street. The focus includes the meaning of family and Italy’s implicit union of church and state.
