    • Synopsis
    • Turin, 1938. Young Ginia has just moved from the
      countryside and the future seems to offer her endless
      possibilities. But the war is casting its shadows over
      the present. Desperate for adventure, Ginia begins an
      electric affair with a painter she meets in the dazzling
      artists’ world. The woman who leads her into the
      bohemian quarters is Amelia. Sensual and provocative,
      Amelia is not much older than Ginia, but different
      from anyone she has ever met and ready to shake her
      certainties. During her “beautiful summer”, Ginia will
      surrender to her first great love. She will finally give in
      to her overwhelming feelings, celebrating the courage
      to be truly herself.
