Plein été dans un camping de la Maremme, une région côtière très appréciée de la Toscane. Avec l’énergie du désespoir, Vincenzo et Adriana, un couple au bord de la rupture, tentent de sauver leur mariage plombé par la dépendance psychique. Leur fils Nic, 12 ans, digère la violence traumatisante des explosions de son père en inventant des jeux avec ses amis. Il est bien intégré dans son groupe de camarades, mais a de la peine à réfréner les sentiments qu’il commence à éprouver pour Marie, une fille de son âge qui souffre de ne pas connaître son père. Un film sur les premiers pas dans la vie.
La storia di due coppie durante la breve parentesi di una vacanza al mare. Mentre i genitori di Nic nonostante vari tentativi restano prigionieri di una relazione di dipendenza precaria, il figlio dodicenne elabora nei giochi con gli altri ragazzi gli scoppi d’ira del padre che lo traumatizzano. Cerca così di insegnare anche a Marie, sua coetanea, che soffre del mancato rapporto con il padre, a non provare nessun sentimento. In realtà i due ragazzi conosceranno le gioie e i dolori del primo amore e la loro vita cambierà. Un film sui primi passi decisivi verso una vita che ci appartiene.
