Synopsis
It's summer in Casale Monferrato, a town in northern Italy. Luigi is 25 years old. He has just failed his Law exam at the University of Turin. He gets a tattoo, he stars in a movie, but nothing seems to appease him. Only the walks with his dog Scarlett and his car trips where he raps and sings provide him comfort. Among rage and tenderness, at the dawn of all adults’ life’s choices, Luigi offers the portrait of a young Italian man of today.
