Jack has always wanted a little brother to play with, and when Gio is born, his parents say his brother is a "special" child. That's when Gio transforms into a superhero with incredible powers in his older brother's imagination, like those in his comic books. Over time, however, Jack discovers the truth: his brother has Down syndrome, a condition that Jack decides to keep a secret. When he goes to high school and falls in love with Arianna, he hides Gio's very existence from her and his new friends. But how can you expect anyone to love you if you hide such an important part of yourself? In no time, the truth comes out and Jack realizes that Gio's energy and vitality are contagious. Gio's original vision truly changes the world, just like a superhero.
Such a beautiful film, moves us in many ways, what a beautiful family, and whoever dealt with it during the film's production, claims to be genuine, and real this empathy, union and fraternal dialogue between the members, what pride... Interesting to know that the Italian government gives a subsidy of 400 Euros to help with costs, applause... A beautiful biography...
