CGiii Comment
Definitely, a vanity project...
The terribly English-accented narration is totally ridiculous...with the flippancy and sarcasm...trivialising the apparent intent.
Belusconi ran his country into the ground and with that evil little demon - the pope - Italy has a difficult journey...this 'documentary' is a pathetic, whimsy of its protagonists.
Self-centred, self-indulgent, self-serving and selfish, campy queens should not be allowed anywhere near a camera...especially when their integrity is compromised by their mind-numbing vanity.

The(ir) Blurb...
In 2006, a general election in Italy gave a slim majority to a center-left coalition that promised legislation to provide civil unions and other rights to gay couples. In 2007, the government proposed a piece of moderate legislation, "diritti di coppie conviventi" (rights for cohabiting couples) or DICOs; it's quickly clear they face tough sledding in the Senate. Luca Ragazzi and Gustav Hofer, a couple for eight years, with camera in hand, follow the Senate proceedings weekly, seek interviews with politicians, attend anti-DICO rallies, and ask questions of persons in the street. The focus includes the meaning of family and Italy's implicit union of church and state.
