In 2014, a film crew contacts Federico Soldani, asking help telling the story of his younger brother, 1990’s gay porn star Riki Kandinski. Riki’s diary takes the story back to 1999, when their father died and Federico, knowing nothing, determines to learn about Riki’s life in Rome. Over 18 months, Federico faces Riki’s sexual orientation and his work, meets Riki’s friends, explores their world, and reconnects with his own young son and the boy’s mother. Riki, too, grows through friendship with Federico, reaching out more as an older brother than as a father to a young boy whose mother dies in an accident they witness. That way lies heartache, and 14 years’ later, a resolution.
