L'età critica

A quiet, observant film follows a young man navigating the fragile thresholds between childhood wonder and adult responsibility in a swiftly changing Italian town. As seasons shift, his daily routines—work, family expectations, and intimate friendships—are tested by new ideas, evolving loyalties, and the pull of social norms. The camera lingers on small, intimate moments: late-night conversations, stray glances, and the hush of a room where plans tremble on the edge of action. Through intimate storytelling and restrained performances, the story captures a period of awakening, where the characters grapple with uncertainty, chance encounters, and the delicate balance between personal longing and communal duty.
