Classical Italian literature, chaotic party nights, and fleeting encounters collide in a tender yet wild feature debut about a 19-year-old's journey through Europe.

Leonardo, 19, leaves the safety of Palermo to study economics in London, but the allure of his new life quickly fades. Restlessness takes him to Siena, where he begins studying Italian literature. However, conservative professors, overly enthusiastic acquaintances, and annoying roommates push him toward solitude. A year later, he finds himself in Torino, where an unexpected encounter opens a new door to self-awareness. Giovanni Tortorici’s bold and playful feature film debut, produced by the festival’s Honorary Dragon Award recipient Luca Guadagnino (Call Me By Your Name), exquisitely captures the freedom, confusion, and beauty of being young and on the verge of discovering who you are.
