LGBTQ
Martina has always believed in love – so much so that she asked Erika to marry her. Together, they had faced homophobia, hatred and loneliness, turning their story into a message of courage through social media. They had become a beacon of hope, proof that love can withstand anything.
But the biggest storm hit when they least expected it. *Quando dentro piove* recounts Martina’s journey through the pain of loss, just when she was imagining a future full of joy and promise. Amidst fear, depression and healing, her voice becomes a comforting embrace for those who are grieving and don’t know where to start again. An invitation to acknowledge one’s pain, face it and, ultimately, find oneself again.
