Description

This is a story about a sudden and powerful romance between an adolescent boy and a summer guest at his parents’ mansion in Italy. The two realize they are deeply attracted to each other, but for the first few weeks, they pretend to be indifferent. But during the restless summer weeks that follow, the love between them grows—and so does the passion between them. However, the strength of their feelings worries both of them, since they know there is no way their relationship can last. Yet despite this fact, they try to hold onto their love as best they can. Unfortunately, when they realize there is no hope for their romance and they must part ways forever, it is a truly difficult moment for both of them. This was not just any romance... it was an experience that marked them for the rest of their lives.
