Storyline:

Ernesto (Federico Russo) is a teenager who wanders, in search of himself, through the streets of Rome. Chapter after chapter, time passes and people just disappear but he continues to live impromptu relationships, causing pain to himself and to others. Taking refuge in his happy moments and in political ideologies, he believes he can save his soul from suffering although life will force him to grow and move forward.

User review:

It takes a little to get into but once I realized how the story was being divided I could understand what the director was trying to portray. Ernesto is a young man trying to figure himself out. He is obviously conflicted in who is attracted to. Each time he finds attraction to a woman it ultimately results in the reminder of what he feels for men at the same time. Something many of us can probably relate to. It’s the story of internal struggles and how he must navigate through life to find what and who he truly is. The movie is subtitled and has an artistic flare to it, which at times is distracting, however overall I feel it was relatable and worth the watch.
