Plot.

The film takes us on a voyage to a hidden Italy rarely addressed on film: Gay Italy as it was lived in the 20th century, from the turn of the century up to the 80s. The documentary gives voice to those who personally had to bear the weight of being "different", remembering how their lives were shaped by this situation during Fascism and in the aftermath of World War II, in an anthropologically and culturally widely diverse nation. Theirs is a mixed testimony of repression, censorship, dignity, courage, and happiness, making way for the final image of a world - our world - that still has a long way to go towards respect and liberty for everyone.

Wiki.

Happy who is different is a documentary film of 2014 directed by Gianni Amelio. It consists of a series of 20 interviews with men (and a transgender woman) who tell episodes of their youth, focusing on issues concerning their homosexuality. The title is taken from a verse of the poet Sandro Penna, quoted by actor Paolo Poli, who appears in the documentary as one of the interviewees. The film was presented in the section 'Panorama' at the International Film Festival in Berlin in 2014, and was broadcast in Italian cinemas from March 6 of the same year.
