It moved me.

Yesterday, as part of a Turin festival, I had the opportunity and the good luck to attend a screening of this film. Set in the 1960s, and centered on a group of friends, I found it to be a delicate and exciting coming-of-age story, very touching. The plot sometimes takes, at least apparently, different directions until it merges into a choral tale with a universal scope. I really liked the photography, the confident and clean direction, the accurate reconstruction of the era and the stylistic choices. The actors, almost all very young, are talented and authentic. I wish the film further recognitions.
