“Two boys, an unexpected love and the emptiness that attracts them”
Synopsis
Giorgio and Marco come from two different worlds: the first is the son of an accomplished lawyer, the second is the son of a farmer. Both guys fight to emancipate themselves from the outskirts of a southern city. They dream of an overwhelming love and, above all, for different reasons, they are burning with the desire to emerge. The force that attracted them, it will force them to fight to be together. The "Empty" that pushes them towards each other will bring Giorgio and Marco chasing each other, walking on the balance of the emptiness that attracts them: two boys and an unexpected love.
