Midsummer by the sea in the Maremma in Tuscany. Vincenzo and Adriana, trapped in emotional dependency, make one last desperate attempt to save their marriage. Their 12-year-old son Nic processes the trauma from his father’s violent outbursts in games with other children. Although he is well integrated in his group of friends, he finds it extremely difficult to express what he feels for Marie, who is the same age and suffers from her own relationship with her father. A film about the first steps towards a life of one’s own.

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.
