Every summer, Francesca (12, Italian) spends time with her Dutch friend Alice (14) in her small Italian village. However, this year something seems to have changed. Alice is different. Older. She is more interested in making friends with the older and seemingly cooler kids in the village, and Francesca feels that they are drifting apart. Whilst Francesca still embraces her childhood, Alice is on the verge of becoming a teenager.
