PLOT : The story of Luca and Alba is one of true love, persistence, and acceptance. This heartwarming story tells the tale of Luca, a single, Catholic, and homosexual man who adopted Alba, a child with Down syndrome who was left in the hospital. Before Luca, thirty heterosexual families rejected her. Only then did the court decide to entrust Alba to Luca through the legal foster care registration for singles, inaugurated in Italy. Luca is the first case in Italy of a single, homosexual person succeeding in adopting a daughter. However, Luca did not adopt Alba for this reason. His reasoning was much more simple - Luca just wanted a family.
