The Boy with Pink Pants

The Boy with Pink Pants (Il ragazzo dai pantaloni rosa, 2024) — watch online an Italian drama directed by Margherita Ferri, built around the true story of fifteen-year-old Andrea Spezzacatena. On 20 November 2012, Andrea took his own life in Rome after sustained bullying at school and online, set off by a small, absurd detail: red trousers his mother gave him turned pink in the wash, and classmates never let it go.

The film tracks the months that led there. The mockery began in the classroom, spread to social media, and none of the adults around Andrea managed to catch it before it consumed him. Samuele Carrino plays the role with quiet restraint — no melodrama, just the gradual wearing-down of a kid who wanted to be left alone.

This was the first case in Italy formally recorded as a minor's death by suicide linked to cyberbullying. Ferri keeps the film from assigning one clean villain, which is what makes it difficult to shake off. Stream The Boy with Pink Pants (2024) online on iFILM.
