from Laura Luchetti | 110 min | Italy
Italian with French subtitles

Turin, 1938. Young Ginia has just left the countryside and the future seems to offer her endless possibilities. Eager for adventure, Ginia begins an electric affair with a painter she meets in the dazzling world of artists. The woman who takes him to the bohemian neighborhoods is called Amelia. Sensual and provocative, Amelia is not much older than Ginia, but she is different from everyone she has ever met and ready to shake her certainties. During her “beautiful summer”, Ginia will abandon herself to her first great love. She will finally surrender to her overwhelming feelings, celebrating the courage to truly be herself. The carefreeness of youth, the discovery of freedom, of love. Laura Luchetti takes her time and sets a classic framework to tell her story. A beautiful story in which Gina's smile completely invades you.
