Summaries

Set in the south of France, Riki Kandinski and his elder brother Fredrico, come back to their family castle for their father's funeral. They haven't seen each other in a long time and Fredrico knows nothing about his younger brother, but he notices that he is making big money and living in luxury all for a few days work a week. By pure chance, Fredrico gets his hands on a gay porn magazine and sees his brother in it. According to Riki, he's had more than six hundred men and only four women. The brothers who grew up apart will have to get to know another again but both their lives change drastically when they witness a woman's death in a car crash.—russart.com

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.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>
