Alain Parroni’s kinetic debut feature follows three teenagers on the cusp of adulthood and on the brink of nihilism in and around Rome. Alex (Enrico Bassetti), Brenda (Federica Valentini), and Kevin (Zackari Delmas) are close friends living on the outskirts of Rome, caught between the ancient city’s feeling of eternity, the terrible bleakness of an uncertain future, and their own horror at the prospect of aging.
