SYNOPSIS
Pino is a mechanic and a rally rides champion, who decides to become a woman, and names himself Beatrice. As a transgender, he meets Marianna, a nurse from Romenia who’s taking care of Pino’s old mother. Beatrice and Marianna fall in love and manage to get married in Rome, fighting society and prejudice, both dressed as brides.
OFF ROAD is an Italian love story, an unsurfaced road to become an unconventional family, in a too conventional country.
