Aureliano and Simone seem to belong to different planets. They don't speak much, their common language is fencing. With each lunge they will test their talent and loyalty.

It's the height of summer in Terracina and Lavinia is at home with her little brother Elia when Giulio, her summer crush, arrives wanting to spend the day with her. Once inside, he distracts the child with a treasure hunt so he can spend some time alone with his sister. Finally alone, Giulio and Lavinia move to her bedroom. Giulio has a new tattoo and Lavinia is so attracted to it that she wants to touch it. It intrigues and frightens her at the same time, almost as much as the idea of changing in front of Giulio to go to the beach, leaving Elia alone at home.

One year after she started her gender transition, Marina spends a summer weekend at the house of her best friend, Camilla. Everyone tells Marina how beautiful she has become, but she doesn’t feel like that. Instead, she constantly compares her body to Camilla’s, that she observes and portrays on her notebook. The arrival at the house of an impetuous male presence, with Lorenzo and his friends, will put to hard test Marina, Camilla and the friendship between them.

Oreste is caught up in an obsessive search for a girl who perfectly matches his bizarre ideals, as he wanders through a sweltering summer in Rome.
