Synopsis
Born for You (Nata per te, 2023) is an Italian drama from director Fabio Mollo that you can watch online on iFILM. In a Naples hospital, a newborn girl with Down syndrome is left behind after her parents and one prospective family after another turn away.
The man who steps up to take Alba home is Luca — single, a practicing Catholic, and openly gay. To the system he reads as the wrong applicant on every line: no wife, none of the boxes a model father is supposed to tick. What follows is a long legal fight where the real question isn't paperwork but who deserves to raise a child thirty households already decided they didn't want. A sharp-edged lawyer takes Luca's side, and her own idea of family shifts as the case wears on. Pierluigi Gigante carries the lead without sentimentality.
It draws on the true story of Luca Trapanese and the book he wrote about it — a quiet film about parenthood as a choice rather than a credential, and how prejudice loses to one stubborn refusal to let go. For anyone after honest drama with no manipulation, stream Born for You online on iFILM.
