In the early 80s, in a hot Sicily feverishly following the Italian national soccer team at the Football World Cup, two teenagers, Gianni and Nino, collide on their respective mopeds along a country back road. The collision leads to a deep friendship, and something else too, something that is disapproved of by the families and the village boys. Brave and hungry for life, Gianni and Nino do not care about prejudices and rumors and live freely. A freedom that others do not understand. Based on an incident that kick-started the 1980s gay rights movement in Italy. The story explores first love and the tenderness and courage between those daring to love openly in a time of widespread intolerance.
