FEATURED IN: THE ITALIAN BOYS
It's the last days of summer on Procida, a little Island in the gulf of Naples. The adolescence of Domenico is coming to an end, just like his tormented relationship with Marcello. Domenico looks to crash at best friend Antonio's house, but soon he finds himself alone with Antonio's younger brother, Lallo. After a day of spent swimming in the bay, aimless cycling and making prank phone calls, the pair go to see Sara, a transsexual woman wise beyond her years. As the night draws on, Sara insists it is still young, and a journey of discovery starts that will bring light to the desires of the two young boys.
