About the film

It is the peak of summertime in the camping site in Tuscany. It is the last ditch effort for Vincenzo and Adriana, a young blue collar couple on the brink of divorce, to save their marriage which is threatened by life’s challenges. Nic, their son, is unable to control his violence. Even if he is able to impose himself in a small group of children, he can’t possibly express his feelings for Marie, a teenager torn apart by her father abandoning her.
