The Boy with Pink Pants

“Being yourself is a right that requires courage and respect.”

The film opens in Italy in 2012, with Andrea Spezzacatena (Samuele Carrino), fifteen, wearing red trousers his mother Teresa (Claudia Pandolfi) gave him, which a washing mishap has turned pink. Margherita Ferri follows the schoolyard talk that starts around the colour and the messages that follow him home. Andrea sits with his phone and the trousers, and what stays in view is the pink cloth.
