The story
A modern love story set during the summer on Italy’s Adriatic Coast. An undeniable attraction brings together Ale and Summer, who come from very different worlds. For both, these holidays will be an unforgettable journey that will take them far from who they were before they met.
What it’s like
Sun-bleached and easygoing, with bright daylight on crowded beach umbrellas, pastel seaside towns, and warm golden-hour evenings that spill over into nightlife. The camera stays close and handheld in the friendship scenes, so the group's chatter feels like it's happening in the same room, while the lingering shots of the Adriatic coastline, boardwalks and bathing-hut pastels give the summer a sense of open, unhurried freedom. Sound leans on pop and Italian summer tracks, the crash of waves, and buzzy beach-town ambience. The vibe is light, sunny and romantic, with a touch of teen-drama tenderness and easy comedy. It suits a lazy weekend binge, a warm afternoon on the sofa, or a comfort watch when you want the feeling of a holiday without leaving home. Intensity is low: romance and flirtation, some suggestive moments and mild sexual content, with no violence and nothing frightening. Its people are young adults from different backgrounds slowly loosening their defences as the season unfolds. It is for viewers who want gentle, feel-good romance, sunny settings and warm friendships.
