Synopsis

12-year-olds Matteo and Samuele spend their summer roaming the Italian countryside, the sun shining lazily down on them, each day bringing new and surprising adventures. As an endless summer seems to continue forever, the boys will soon discover the deep bond that ties them together.

Our take

Fabio Bobbio makes an assured debut with a story of two curious boys who spend summer forgoing colorless malls for forests of dappled light. Moving along as if caught in the gentlest breeze, this coming-of-age tale elongates the precious cusp of adolescence and luxuriates in its passing pleasures.
