Plot

The movie follows the story of Alex, a rebellious 17-year-old from Bologna who rebels against the predictable path laid out for him by his bourgeois environment.

While navigating his feelings for Aidi, Alex spends time with Martino, a wealthy but socially isolated boy who introduces him to a more chaotic, emotionally charged side of life.
