Why watch this film?

"A Delicate Movie about Acceptance and Childhood, an adaptation of the homonymous book by Italian writer Giacomo Mazzariol, which tells the story of his life. With Mazzariol's careful eye, we follow the dynamics of two brothers, Jack and Gio, and how life discoveries affect their relationship. Jack believes that Gio is a superhero due to his genetic condition, he has Down Syndrome. Over time, he understands what this is and starts to hide this fact from his friends. Screenwriter Fabio Bonifacci and the story author bring a lot of honesty to address this topic, about the fear of being different. The narrative is light and humorous. The family relationship is addressed in the best possible way, making the plot very beautiful. One of the most recognizable faces in the cast is Rossy de Palma, who stayed thanks to the characters in Pedro Almodóvar's films."
