00:00At the beginning of the movie, we see our main character Mathia standing in front of
00:04the mirror and practicing to tell his parents that he is homosexual.
00:08He acts and slaps himself as if his parents are beating him after hearing this news.
00:12However, he was dreaming.
00:14He wakes up with a shock and his female friend Stefina, lying next to him, also wakes up.
00:19And we come to know that Stefina is Mathia's close friend.
00:22She knows that Mathia is gay, and if he was not gay then Stefina would have been his girlfriend.
00:28Then Mathia gets a video call from his gay boyfriend.
00:31He sits in front of a setup and starts talking to his boyfriend.
00:34Actually, Mathia was going to Spain to stay with his long time boyfriend Eduard.
00:38Mathia's boyfriend feels that Mathia's family is supportive of their relationship
00:42although Mathia had not even told his family that he is gay.
00:46Eduard tells Mathia, on a video call, that the next day he is coming from Spain to Rome
00:50to meet him and his family.
00:52Mathia is stunned because Mathia is just an inch from a keen getaway to Spain.
00:56Mathia now has to choose between telling his boyfriend he is a liar or finally coming out
01:01to his family.
01:02Well after that Mathia goes to his house where the farewell dinner party was going to be
01:06held tonight.
01:07Meanwhile, his parents are arguing with each other.
01:09He tells them that instead of fighting like this, they should get a divorce.
01:13Avoiding the topic, his mother asks him to have breakfast.
01:16But Mathia refuses and goes to his grandmother, who is 84 years old and is still looking for
01:21a job.
01:22Her chatty grandmother first sanitizes Mathia's hands and then tells him that she is getting
01:27a job as a waitress in a bar where she will have to serve pizza slices.
01:31On this Mathia says that there is no need for her to work at this age, but his grandmother's
01:35wish is to get her first job.
01:37Then his parents fight ends and he looks out the window to see his womanizer father rolling
01:41down the stairs.
01:42Then his mother comes into the room and apologizes for today's behavior.
01:46Grandmother asks her mother to help her in cooking, to which she says that she has not
01:49made any preparations yet.
01:52Just then, Athia's pregnant sister rings the bell.
01:54Who is always pregnant?
01:56She brought one of her children with her while leaving the other two at home.
01:59In the next scene, we see Mathia's friend Giacomo who owns a laundry shop.
02:03A policeman comes to his shop and asks about the car parked outside.
02:07When Giacomo tells that it is his car, the policeman asks him to ticket him for wrong
02:12parking.
02:13Giacomo understands that this corrupt policeman wants to wash his clothes for free, so he
02:17asks the policeman to bring him the clothes.
02:20But the policeman gives a lot of clothes to be washed and tells to deliver his police
02:23uniform to his office by evening.
02:26Then Giacomo gets a call from Mathia and he hurriedly tells him that Edugard is coming
02:29to Rome tonight to meet him and his family.
02:32Giacomo calms him down and says that together they will handle it.
02:36Just then, Mathia's sister appears at the door.
02:38Then both of them go to their mother in the kitchen where her mother gives clothes to
02:41her sister to change.
02:43Mathia cracks a joke on his sister, which makes her angry at him.
02:47The three of them talk in the kitchen and Mathia's sister tells him that her husband
02:50Bernardo has fixed his car so that he can go and take a ride.
02:54Mathia goes to Bernardo's garage and calls him.
02:57When he doesn't listen, he calls him by his stage name Piston.
03:00Bernardo comes out and shows Mathia his car.
03:03While decorating it, he had added some extra features to it.
03:07In the next scene, we see Mathia's mother and grandmother shopping at the grocery store
03:10where his granny is filling the cart with sanitizer bottles.
03:14Mathia's mother goes to the counter for billing and tells the lady at the counter that she
03:17has to prepare dinner because her son, Mathia, is going to work in Spain to work on renewable
03:23energy.
03:24Then she notices that granny is missing somewhere and she understands that granny has gone again
03:28to look for a job.
03:29She searches granny and goes to a nearby spa where there was a vacancy for a masseuse expert.
03:34She asks if the receptionist has seen any old grandmother.
03:37So the receptionist tells that granny is giving an interview where she also gets interviewers'
03:41hands sanitized.
03:43Well the receptionist gives Mathia's mother a tour of the spa or tells her about the services
03:47there.
03:48In the next scene, we see Mathia, who has come to this college for degree clarification.
03:53Then he sees his old classmate Christian, who used to bully and harass him since their
03:57school days.
03:58He thinks back to his high school days when they were on a school trip.
04:01Christian made fun of him in front of everyone.
04:03At night, when everyone was playing truth and dare, when it was Mathia's turn, Christian
04:08gave him a dare to kiss the boy sitting next to him, which Mathia had to fulfill.
04:13The next time it's Christian's turn.
04:15Stefania dares Christian to apologize to Mathia for teasing him all day.
04:19Christian accepts and apologizes to Mathia.
04:22In the present scene, Mathia gets a call from his mother.
04:25He is talking to his mother when Christian comes to him smoking a cigarette.
04:29Mathia greets him.
04:30Christian tells him that he works for an assistant secretary at the environment department.
04:34Then Mathia says that he has been hired by a renewable energy company.
04:38Christian thinks he might have got a job as a receptionist in that company.
04:41Although Mathia tells him that he is in charge of the projects on the design and implementation
04:46in Spain, jealous Christian becomes irritated with him at this.
04:50Mathia tells him to forget the past, upon which Christian bullies and beats him again
04:54and walks away.
04:55Outside the college, Mathia meets his friend Giacomo, who recaps his quite complicated
04:59situation.
05:00Mathia blames Giacomo for this because he had told him not to tell anyone anything as
05:04things would get better on their own.
05:06Mathia says that maybe his family will react well after knowing that he's gay.
05:10However, Giacomo tells how his father disowned him when he told this to his family.
05:15That means Giacomo is also gay.
05:17Then Giacomo gives him an idea that he will go to pick up a guard from the airport and
05:21keep him busy somewhere so that Eduard cannot come for dinner tonight.
05:25They agree on this and Mathia thanks him for help and being a good friend.
05:29In the past, we see Mathia standing in front of a gay bar, he hesitatingly enters into
05:33the pub.
05:34Giacomo was hosting the party there posing as Alba Queen.
05:38Giacomo calls Mathia on stage and do some questions and Mathia impresses everyone with
05:42his sharp answers.
05:44After the concert, Giacomo invites Mathia to his cabin where they become good friends.
05:48Then one day when Mathia is sitting with Stefina, he sees Eduard, who was cycling, and there
05:53is also a gay flag on his cycle.
05:56His cycle chain comes off, so Stefina and Mathia approach him.
05:59Mathia fixes his cycle and Eduard thanks him and starts leaving, then he calls Mathia also
06:05for cycling.
06:06Both of them go cycling.
06:07A connection is formed between them, while enjoying the moments by traveling to many
06:11places and finally they make love.
06:13The next day Mathia goes for a walk with his father.
06:16Mathia's father still thinks he is a virgin, although he does not know that Mathia had
06:20got his virginity broken the same night.
06:22Mathia tells him that he is no longer a virgin and just as he is about to tell his father
06:26that he is gay, suddenly a speeding biker passes by, whom his father abuses by calling
06:31gay and starts badmouthing their community to Mathia, due to which he leaves from there
06:36without telling the truth to his father.
06:38He also tried to tell this truth to his mother and sister, but he could not succeed.
06:42And back to today, while returning from college, Mathia calls Stefina and goes to meet her.
06:48Then Mathia tells Stefina about his idea that Giacomo is going to pick up Eduard and he
06:52will keep Eduard busy so that he can't make it to dinner.
06:56Stefina doesn't like Giacomo because she thinks he is arrogant and misogynist.
07:00Then Mathia gets a call from Giacomo and he informs him that his car has broken down on
07:04the way.
07:05Then Mathia convinces Stefina to take the car to him and after some efforts, Stefina
07:09agrees.
07:10Again, we are shown the past scene where Mathia takes Eduard to meet his family.
07:14They both go to a grocery store where Mathia's mother was shopping for groceries.
07:18Mathia shows Eduard his mother.
07:21When Eduard asks him to go and meet her, Mathia makes an excuse and asks to meet next time.
07:26Just like this he shows his sister and Rani to him from a distance.
07:30Then they go to the rubby ground where Mathia's father is the coach.
07:34Mathia also shows him from a distance on which Eduard gets disappointed because Mathia was
07:38only showing him his family from a distance and not introducing him.
07:42Eduard starts to leave but Mathia's father sees him on the field and sees him wearing
07:46the team's t-shirt which Mathia might have given him.
07:50Mathia's father starts thinking of him as a thief and they start arguing among themselves.
07:54Seeing this, Mathia immediately comes there.
07:57His father asks him about Eduard to which Mathia says he does not know him.
08:02Eduard hears this and leaves from there.
08:04Then Mathia runs after him and apologizes.
08:07Eduard lectures him that he is ashamed of himself for not being able to tell the truth
08:11to his family and he kisses Mathia and walks away.
08:15Back in the present, Mathia's mother comes into his room and asks Mathia if she has been
08:19a good mother because he is leaving her.
08:21To which Mathia tells her that she has always been a good mother but he himself has not
08:25been able to be a good son.
08:27His mother tells him that he is perfect.
08:29They both hug and have some mother-son talks.
08:31Then his mother goes to cook.
08:33Here we see Stefina who gives Giacomo a ride and they both bicker and leave for the airport
08:37to pick up Eduard.
08:39But as soon as they reach the airport, Eduard has already left from there in a taxi.
08:44Then both of them chase Eduard's taxi and Giacomo changes his dress in the car.
08:49Going ahead, Giacomo arrives wearing the same police uniform that he had given to the laundry
08:53in the morning.
08:54Giacomo asks the taxi driver for the vehicle's documents and advises Eduard to take another
08:59taxi.
09:00Stefina comes there and seeing Eduard reacts as if all this is a coincidence.
09:05She offers Eduard a ride to Mathia's house.
09:08Since Eduard already knows her, he goes with her.
09:10Stefina first takes him to her home on the pretext of some work.
09:14When they reach home, before Eduard can see, Stefina closes the set-up wardrobe in front
09:19of which Mathia used to sit and talk to Eduard.
09:22She then pours white wine for Eduard to drink and when Eduard goes to the washroom to change,
09:27Stefina mixes some sleeping substance in his drink and gives drink to Eduard.
09:33Then they start talking about Mathia's parents and Eduard tells that Mathia's mother sent
09:36him a letter and he also talked to her on the call while Giacomo, posing as Mathia's
09:41mother, talked to him and told him the blessings of the entire family are with both of them.
09:46Here Mathia has done all the packing.
09:48Then his sister Samantha comes to him and they start talking about their old days.
09:53Mathia praises his sister for the way she lives her life, does what she wants without
09:57looking back and without any hesitation.
09:59Meanwhile, Stefina keeps Eduard engaged and dancing after getting drunk.
10:04Finally, the time comes when Mathia and her whole family gather for Mathia's farewell
10:08dinner.
10:09They talk and laugh among themselves.
10:11Mathia checks his phone again and again to see any update from Stefina.
10:14Granny asks Samantha if she has thought about the name for the bailey.
10:18Samantha says that it will be a boy to which her husband Bernardo says that they have enough
10:21boys and now he wants a girl.
10:23To which Samantha says that it is Nalibe on which we placed an order and we will get
10:27what we want.
10:28She says that anyway everyone knows that the gender of the child depends only on the father
10:32and not on the mother.
10:34Mathia's father cracks a joke on Bernardo and his mother gets angry at him.
10:38She imagines giving a speech to which everyone applauds.
10:41Then she asks Rodolfo to apologize to and Rodolfo apologizes to everyone.
10:46Everyone is talking amongst themselves.
10:48Then Mathia shows courage and stands up and says that he has to tell something to everyone.
10:53He is about to tell when he gets a message from Stefina that she has put Eduard to sleep
10:57and now he can enjoy dinner in peace.
10:59Seeing this, Mathia once again instead of confessing to the family says that he will
11:03miss them all.
11:04On which everyone calms down and starts having dinner again.
11:07When everyone is having dinner again and talking amongst themselves, Mathia cannot control
11:11himself and finally shows courage and tells everyone that he is gay.
11:15He tells everyone that he is also very embarrassed, not because he is gay but because he could
11:20not gather the courage to tell this earlier.
11:22He kept disappointing himself by hiding the truth so that he does not disappoint anyone.
11:27He was afraid that they might reject him but now he is proud of himself that he did it.
11:31He asks everyone to be happy for him and sits down.
11:34The atmosphere there becomes a little quiet and awkward.
11:38Then Mathia's father says that they all know this.
11:41Mathia gets shocked and asks how.
11:43Then his father tells that he saw him and that t-shirt thief on the rugby field that
11:46day.
11:47Then his mother says that they all knew this thing but did not know how to deal with it.
11:51Bernardo also knew that's why he added extra features to Mathia's car.
11:55Then everyone stands up and drinks and celebrate.
11:58Mathia tells everyone that his boyfriend's name is Edgigard and he is going to stay with
12:03him in Spain.
12:04Then his grandmother says that she will not be able to come to Spain to meet him because
12:07she may not get leave.
12:09That means finally granny has also got a job.
12:12And she reads out her joining letter to everyone.
12:14And then everyone cheers for granny too.
12:16At the same time, Bernardo also gives a mini cruise to Samantha and they both start kissing.
12:22And Mathia's parents also look at each other with lustful eyes.
12:25After this Mathia comes to Stefina's house where Edgigard is sleeping drunk.
12:29Stefina is also sad about Mathia leaving.
12:32She calls him stupid.
12:33She does not want him to go.
12:35Then Mathia kisses her and tells that he has confessed to his family.
12:38Then they hug for the last time and Mathia leaves for Spain with Edgigard.
12:42Edgigard wakes up and asks Mathia if everything is alright and what about the dinner.
12:47Then Mathia tells him that he missed dinner and now they are going back to Spain.
12:51And he asks Edgigard to rest again.
12:52So Edgigard falls asleep again.
12:55Mathia stops at a gas station to fill fuel in a car.
12:58Then Christian comes from behind.
13:00This time also he is about to bully Mathia.
13:02But Mathia hits him with a strong punch and knocks him down and leaves from there.
13:06There are tears of joy in his eyes as he leaves.
