Eccomi, Eccoti
Eccomi, Eccoti oscillates between two worlds and two realities. An Italian man reflects over a difficult past with a family who did not accept his homosexuality. A Lebanese man tries to find acceptance in a pre-dominantly homophobic society. In limbo between the warmth of an Arab culture beset, however, by extremism and a European “dream land” increasingly closed to outsiders, the two men attempt to build a relationship overcoming real and imaginary barriers.
