BLUE JEAN
O.V. English subtitled in Spanish
England, 1988. With Margaret Thatcher in power, the notorious Section 28, a clearly homophobic law (only repealed in 2003) prohibiting "the promotion of homosexuality", is enacted. Against this hostile backdrop, Jean, a gym teacher, feels obliged to keep her sexuality a secret. A concealment that pits her against her girlfriend Viv, who lives openly as a lesbian, and which will explode into paranoia when one of Jean's pupils starts to frequent one of the gay bars where the couple go. Winner of the Audience Award at the Giornate degli autori in Venice.
