For decades, Kinoatelje has explored the cinematic heritage of the Gorizia area, tracing memories and stories that cross borders. From this legacy emerges a new chapter: an episodic film entrusted to a new generation of filmmakers. This collective film was shot in Gorizia in the summer of 2025 - among streets and rivers where stories intertwine, in a threshold city shaped by its own pulse. Under the artistic direction of filmmaker Alessandro Comodin, and inspired by Sandro Scandolara’s book Nostro cine quotidiano, five filmmakers - Laura Samani, Ester Ivakič, Otto Lazić-Reuschel, Jan Devetak and Francesco Sossai - have dismantled the border to create a polyphonic portrait of the city.

2007. Fred, a 17-year-old girl who just moved from Sweden to Northeast Italy, enrolls for her high school senior year—finding herself the only female student in an all-male class. Lively and good-looking, she quickly becomes the center of attention, especially for three classmates: Antero, charming and reserved; Pasini, a cocky womanizer; Mitis, gruff and sagacious. The three have been best friends for as long as they can remember, but Fred's arrival puts their longstanding bond to the test. As each of the guys secretly desires Fred for himself, she yearns to be accepted into the group and be considered 'one of them', but is asked to sacrifice more and more in order to belong.
