Early 2000’s. Christian is a university student who is preparing his dissertation, while spending his holidays in the South of Italy. Here, he meets Erion, an Albanian origins boy, and the two begin dating secretly. Summer is passing fast and carefree; however, during an excursion in a nature reserve a few kilometers far from crowded beaches and chaos, Erion finally finds the courage to reveal Christian something unexpected.
“I have always wondered where the boundary lies between personal freedom and social conventions; between who we are and what we somehow belong to and believe in — a question that may never be answered.” (M. G. Stancu)
