With her father on trial, 15-year-old Mignon leaves Paris to stay with her Italian relatives. The rather prim, snooty teen at first struggles to fit in with the more earthy Forbicioni family, each with their own problems. Eventually she bonds with her lovestruck little cousin Giorgio—who'll learn important life lessons over the course of his summer with Mignon.

A tender, sun-drenched coming-of-age story. It captures the awkwardness of fitting in, the warmth of unexpected family bonds, and the quiet beauty of rural Italian life. A gentle, character-focused film that feels like a cherished memory.
