Opening - Love is Strange

After living together for 39 years, Ben and George (played by the venerable Alfred Molina and John Lithgow) get married. But this doesn’t sit well with the Catholic School where George works as a teacher, and he gets fired. Unable to pay their rent, the newlyweds are forced to split up, George goes to live with friends, a gay couple who are policemen, and Ben with his nephew’s family. Despite the uncertainty of their future together, and the indignities of their present circumstances, our protagonists nevertheless manage to cement their life-long bond, through a mix of humour and perseverance.

Luigi and Vincenzo are in love and live together as a couple, but are still in the closet when it comes to the outside world, despite their many years together. A tiny incident, however, will turn their world upside down.
