In this episode, we explore Il Mio Posto È Qui (My Place Is Here), a moving film set in 1940s Calabria. It follows Marta, a young mother shunned by her community, and Lorenzo, a gay civil registrar. Together, they form an unlikely friendship and quietly defy the social norms of their time.

With themes of identity, dignity, and resilience, the film is a powerful reminder of how compassion and connection can thrive in even the harshest environments.

This story hit home for me—maybe it will for you, too.
