Vorrei Ma Non Posso

Overview

The title is inspired by the campaign promoted by Queever and the Quore Association in Turin, a city symbolic of the GLBT movement, in favor of gay marriage: the sending of fifteen thousand postcards to Giorgio Napolitano so that he would take charge of the instance and symbolic marriage ceremonies between same-sex couples (and others) celebrated by institutional representatives during that year's Gay Pride. It is no coincidence that the documentary opens with the now distant, evocative images of the first event held in Italy (it was 1980) in which, in the public square, men and women were provocatively married. Plus: interviews at the PD party with Bersani, Bindi, and D'Alema, with some militants during a demonstration, with participants in the Turin and Viareggio parades, the testimonies of two couples (one gay and one lesbian), and speeches by Don Gallo and Paola Concia.
