Nena
The film tells the story of sixteen-year-old Nena, who is confronted with the suicide attempt of her handicapped father. At the same time she falls head over heels in love for the first time in her life with Carlo, whose father has just outed himself. Away from prying eyes of the adults - who struggle with failed marriages, blossoming love and insufferable physical decline - they push the boundaries of their friendship, love and sexuality. But while discovering her own lust for life, Nena realizes that her father's existence is becoming more and more unbearable.
A tender, yet unflinching look at adolescence colliding with harsh realities. It captures the bittersweet ache of first love and self-discovery against a backdrop of familial struggle and societal pressures. Feels deeply personal and emotionally resonant.
