Plot
[edit]A group of friends reunites each Saturday evening at Elisa’s small villa. They drink a couple of shots, joke, mess up the house, whatever they have to do not to realize they’re becoming adults. All of them live in the vast outskirts, so far from the city they can barely be called outskirts. In the span of a few months the sudden passage from adolescence to the adult age develops in the group, through grudges, fears and insecurities. The life of the group of friends and the small town risks being disturbed because of the adulterous relationship between the teacher in the elementary school of the town, Maria, with the younger Gianluca, son of a mayor candidate. Gianluca, in turn, cheats on his girlfriend Cinzia of whom Enrico, Gianluca’s best friend, is secretly in love. In the meantime the other friend Davide solves with violence his insecurities with women.
