Bologna in Italy, 1948. A period in the life of some 15 year-old youths who attend the same school and live in the same neighbourhood. Dado, a very shy boy, is one of them. Through his eyes we see his friends, his many relatives, his teachers and above all the girls he falls madly in in love with. Sara is one of them and Sara is a doomed girl.—Salvatore Santangelo <[email protected]>
