A woman emerges from the waves of Naples, her heart tethered to the city and its eclectic inhabitants. As she navigates the sun-soaked summers of her youth, the film immerses viewers in a world where every encounter is steeped in nostalgia and longing. Watching it feels like drifting through a dream, where the past is both a source of joy and a bittersweet reminder of what has been lost.
A woman born in the sea of Naples in 1950 searches for happiness over the long summers of her youth, falling in love with her home city and its many memorable characters.
