September

Maria and Sergio are classmates but have never talked much. After summer break Maria for noticed by Cristian for the first time, a guy she has been madly infatuated with over a year.

Cristian sends Sergio to ask her to meet and sleep together. It is a blunt and unromantic proposal but the girl, faced with her crush asking her such a thing, immediately accepts. She soon panics: not having had any experience like that she is uncertain what will happen and what she will have to do. She is terrified of appearing ridiculous and not even Simona, her best friend, can comfort her. Feeling lonely she prefers staying on her own. Thus, when Sergio understands Maria’s distress, he offers to help her.

The two of them spend the entire afternoon together to prepare Maria for the “task” discovering a complicity and delight in being together that they had never felt.

The Champion

Young, talented, undisciplined, rich and spoiled. Christian Ferro is THE CHAMPION, a genius football-rock-star, the new idol everyone in the world of sports has their eyes on.

Valerio, solitary, bashful, financially troubled and with a shadow cast upon from his past, is the professor assigned to the young striker when – after his most recent escapade – the club’s president decides it is time to teach him the importance of discipline through a crucial milestone in his life: his secondary-school exams.

Both of them, who could not be more different from each other, find themselves closely connected and develop a bond that will change them.

An almost ordinary summer

The Castelvecchios are a family of eccentrics, open minded but also narcissistic and disjointed characters.
The Petagna family is the exact opposite: united, socially humbler and rooted in traditional conservative values. Why do such different families find themselves spending their summer vacation together? Only the heads of the households Tony (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) and Carlo (Alessandro Gassmann) know: the unexpected announcement of their love will disrupt the balance of the two families but most of all their two firstborns Penelope (Jasmine Trinca) and Sandro (Filippo Scicchitano).
