GOOD TIMES FOR A CHANGE
by Mick De Paola, Elena Comoglio
Country: Italy
Year: 2021
Duration: 45'
Good Times for a Change narrates about the month before the election of Gianmarco Negri in Tromello, in the province of Pavia, who thus becomes the first transgender mayor of Italy, and about the construction of this result, which did not seem granted at all: "a victory against prejudice, against certainties... because everything seemed already written... ". And it tells of a group of non-LGBTQI+ people who believed that all of this was possible and who chose to change, together with Gianmarco. A story of courage, friendship, support and amazement that faces a simple reality: change is possible.
