About
Gioia, a high school teacher, forms a forbidden relationship with Alessio, a seventeen-year-old student who sells his body to help his mother.
Gioia (Valeria Golino) teaches at a high school and has never known love other than the oppressive bond with her parents, with whom she still lives. Among her students is Alessio (Saul Nanni), a seventeen-year-old who earns money with his body to help his mother, a supermarket cashier. A forbidden, fragile relationship develops between Gioia and Alessio, one that both seem unable to do without. The cast also includes Jasmine Trinca, Francesco Colella, Betti Pedrazzi, Gianni Bissacca, Laura Mazzi and Anita Fiorello.
