Antonio is a basketball player in a high school team, a rising star, but it doesn't make him popular in his school, which is in a small northern Italian town. He is a closeted kid, spending most of the time silent and grieving over his older brother's death. Most of his teammates consider him dumb. Blu is a sharp and smart girl, who, after being discovered to have had sex with her boyfriend and three of his friends at the same time, is fighting with graffiti that is sprayed on the school walls, which calls her a slut. The new kid, Lorenzo, is openly gay. He has just been adopted from an orphanage in Turin and guards himself with extravagant behaviour and an extreme sense of fashion. The three teenagers start an unusual, but good friendship, fighting against bullying schoolmates with immense success. But, then, one single kiss changes their future, leading to a great tragedy.
