In the scorching heat of a Bolognese summer, three youngsters share games, love affairs and a beach umbrella. Twenty years later, a woman tells the truth for the first time.

2009. Andrea is just a child when his happy family is torn apart by the economic crisis. Sixteen years later, fragile and lost, he searches for meaning in life through petty crime. But when the ghost of his childhood returns, everything falls apart.

Lost in the void of a midnight drive, Tommaso’s thoughts spiral into an obsession that turns the road into a mental labyrinth. When a cryptic message breaks the monotony of the drive, his search for meaning veers into the unknown, pulling him into a metaphysical abyss where time folds in on itself. Here, re-living the past is no longer a haunting memory, but a choice.
