A devastating true-story drama about a teenager's descent into despair under relentless bullying, grounded in the tragic specificity of a single act of self-expression.

On 20 November 2012, 15-year-old Andrea Spezzacatena took his life, becoming the first reported case in Italy of bullying and cyberbullying leading to a minor's suicide. The triggering incident was his choice to wear a pair of red trousers, a gift from his mother, which turned pink due to a washing mishap.
