My brother follows the dinosaurus (2019 - director Stefano Cipani)

Giacomo "Jack" is a child who lives in Pieve di Cento, with his parents Davide and
Katia, and his older sisters Chiara and Alice. One day he receives the news that he will
soon have a brother, who will be called Giovanni (Giò). When his little brother is born,
Jack and his family discover that Giovanni has Down syndrome. Initially, Jack is happy,
because he believes that his little brother is some kind of superhero, but over time he
will understand that his parents let him believe something very different from reality.
Years later Jack has to choose a high school together with Vittorio (Vitto), his best
friend ever. There Jack meets Arianna and falls in love with her, then decides to enter
the same school as the girl, convincing Vittorio to follow him. Once at school, Jack
suffers from shyness and would like to be similar to his older classmates, so he joins his
beloved Arianna's group to impress her. He then decides to join the group of the two
boys he considers most admired at school. However, Jack often feels uncomfortable
and cannot tell anyone that he has a brother with Down syndrome. His silence on the
matter gradually turns into a bigger and bigger lie. Jack then discovers that the band he
plays in has a YouTube channel and shows it to his family too. Little Giovanni then
decides to make videos too and puts them on YouTube helped by Vittorio. Jack
discovers the videos because some of his companions see them, and he deletes them,
blaming a non-existent neo-Nazi group. Not being able to ignore what happened, the
boy's family organizes a protest against the alleged neo-Nazi movement in which Jack,
Arianna and his class also participate. Finally determined to stop lying, Jack publicly
confesses that he deleted Giovanni's videos and lied about his brother. Jack has let
everyone down and everyone is mad at him. As time passes, however, he apologizes to
his family, his class, and above all to Vittorio and Arianna, becoming best friends again.
