“Sicily 1982, the dream of loving each other without fear”

Drama

The troubled relationship between Gianni and Nino, set in the narrow-minded and prejudicial Sicily of 1982.

VIBE

A poignant, sun-drenched drama about young love blossoming against a backdrop of stifling tradition. It feels intimate and tender, yet heavy with the weight of societal judgment and impending tragedy. A quiet ache permeates the Sicilian heat.
