In my own image (A mia immagine)
A son fails to feel sorry for the death of his father, a homophobic and bigoted man mainly due to his religious upbringing. The son has never confessed his homosexuality to his father and, desperate, he makes a very strong gesture to shout his homosexuality to God, the Vatican and his father. But resentment is not the solution. The solution is for the church to welcome homosexuals as people equal to all, and not sinners.
the short film is in Italy for being the most courageous and openly aligned work against the Vatican and for having as director and actors some of the most important among the Italian LGBT artists of the moment

-----
This short film (shot by one of the Italian lgbtqi+ directors most engaged in the battle for gay civil rights) has already caused a stir and controversy in the screening test in Turin, Italy.
recently Giuseppe Bucci will stage the very famous text "Tom a la ferme" by Bouchard (who personally granted him the rights) made very popular by the homonymous film by Xavier Dolan. Giuseppe is a very iconic gay director in Italy (other lgbtqi shorts and on stage a very successful "Being at home with Claude" di Renè Daniel Dubois)
the debut as leading actor, in male clothing, of Mariano Gallo (aka "priscilla drag" the most popular Italian drag queen in the world, as it leads the "drag race italia" Italian version of the famous "Ru Paul drag Race" )
it is very important, jet, for the presence in the cast of Eva Grimaldi, a very popular actress and television personality who has been married for years to the woman, political activist for lgbtqi rights, Imma Battaglia. The two women are a true symbol of the struggle for LGBT rights in Italy
