The latest from Laura Samani (Small Body, Open Roads 2022) recasts a 1929 novella by Giani Stuparich in 2007 Trieste, following 17-year-old Swede Fredrika (Stella Wendick) as she enrolls in an otherwise all-male class at the local technical high school after her father uproots her family following his reassignment to the city by his employer. Fredrika’s friendships with the boys in her midst transform her, leaving her navigating the currents of burgeoning adulthood. Featuring an especially magnetic performance by Giacomo Covi, who won the Orizzonti Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival.
