Storyline:
As the sexually frustrated young adolescent, Titta, anxiously awaits the arrival of spring at an Italian seaside town in Benito Mussolini’s Fascist Italy, a vivid tapestry of interlacing vignettes unfolds. Over the course of a single year, the wide-eyed childhood curiosity; the exciting emotional experiences; vain obsessions, and fervent but dormant pubescent desires coexist with religion, politics, sex, and love. Pivoting around Titta’s loud family, little by little, an ever-changing kaleidoscope of 1930s imagery lure Titta into an entire universe of life-altering moments and undiluted teenage fantasies: the quintessential ingredients of one’s undying recollections. Will the town’s belle, Gradisca, ever find what she is looking for? Does the wild blonde temptress, Volpina, want to settle down? Above all, will the small village’s effortlessly tempting tobacconist grant Titta’s wish?
