The film follows an out gay man running for a mayor in a conservative town.</p><br/><blockquote> <p>In an unnamed Italian city, the current conservative mayor builds walls to stop crime. Piero (Luca Argentero) is more interested in building community – for gays and lesbians, in particular. When he is paired with a more family-focused woman as his deputy mayor, much conflict ensues. As opposites start attracting, however, Piero’s political ambitions – and his long-term relationship with Remo (Filippo Negro) – are threatened. </p> <p>Punctuated by bouncy R&B tunes, <em>Different From Whom</em> is a delightful farce about sexuality and politics that playfully satirizes all the spaces along both continuums.</p> </blockquote> <p>Looks fun and it's just a short trek off the Hill! Tickets can be purchased <strong><a href="http://www.siff.net/cinema/detail.aspx?id=29331&FID=163">online</a></strong> or at the door.
