The story
While vacationing on the crowded beaches of Riccione, a group of teenagers becomes fast friends as they grapple with relationship issues and romance.
What it’s like
Bright, crowded beach-town summer, with sun-warmed sand, packed promenades and the bustle of a holiday resort in full swing. The mood is light and playful, a comedy of teenage crushes and small social upsets, with the warm, unhurried feel of school's-out weeks. Expect a group of young friends drifting between sea days and nights out, their romantic confusion played for smiles more than heartache. The pacing suits a lazy afternoon or a relaxed evening, and the tone stays easygoing, with comedy and romance leading the way. Violence and darker material aren't part of its appeal. It suits viewers who want a breezy, feel-good watch that captures the restless giddiness of a first holiday with friends, especially those in the mood for Italian summer comedy.
