(2024, Italy, UK, 109')

An autobiographical and generational film. A nineteen-year-old from Palermo, who moved to London to study economics, decides to return to start a new academic journey in Siena, enrolling in the Faculty of Letters. This return journey is both introspective and exploratory, where memories and new insights merge, creating fertile ground for a new perspective on life and thought. The magnificent architecture of Siena becomes the stage for the protagonist’s expression, where his maturation occurs and where the particular becomes universal.
