Synopsis

Lorenzo De Santis, aka “Varichina”, is the first, noisy, and picturesque openly homosexual person who lived in Bari at the turn of the twentieth century. At this time, being homosexual can be hard, and coming out can be very risky. Varichina is well aware of it, but he does not intend to hide. Between real testimonies and reconstructions, “Varichina” is the brightly colored story of a man who made a flag of life without privileges.
