The Invisible Thread (film)

The Invisible Thread (Italian: Il filo invisibile) is a 2022 Italian comedy-drama film directed by Marco Simon Puccioni, written by Luca De Bei and Marco Simon Puccioni and starring Filippo Timi, Francesco Scianna and Francesco Gheghi.^[1][2]

The story is seen through the eyes of Leone, who is working on a school project about LGBT rights in Europe, based on none other than his own, personal experience. Whilst also in the throes of first love with his beautiful school friend Anna, Leone is forced to accept that his “beautiful family” isn’t quite as perfect as it seems. And so, caught between prejudiced views of homosexuality as hereditary, a raft of misunderstandings, civil battles, and various twists and turns, our young man – whose suffering is clear as day and is no different from that felt by any other youngster whose parents split up – finds himself thinking about the “invisible thread” which binds him to his two dads and to all those who brought him into the world.^[3]
