Plot

Six schoolmates, after the high school exams, decide to leave together for a holiday in the Dolomites, in what will probably be their last summer together before they probably never see each other again. The group consists of Enrico, the creator of the holiday and the group's glue; Max, a disabled boy suffocated by oppressive parents; Lorenzo, a musician who dreams the fame; Giulia, Lorenzo's girlfriend, reluctant to leave; Martina, the other girl in the group, secretly in love with Lorenzo; Cesare, an extravagant boy with a punk style and rough, but with a gold heart.

The six during the stay in the mountains will learn to know themselves and others better, facing and trying to overcome their fears, binding even more between them. And together they will also overcome the tragedy - the death of Enrico during a climb - which troubles the adventure and loosens the bond around the group, so as to arrive united at the end of that summer, after which nothing will be never again as before.
