The director in fact builds An intimate story, which smells of provincial and adolescence, managing to capture that fragile phase of life in which everything seems complicated and wonderful at the same time. It is not so much what happens in the film to be central, as the atmosphere: Italy of the late 70s, made of black and white dreams that begin to color, of modesty and discovery, of more eloquent silences of words.
The film also strikes for its emotional sincerity and for the ability to tell sentimental education without rhetoric nor Moralisms.
