An adult magazine at eight?! A summer of secrets in 1980s Italy. 

Leda is a devout tomboy whose carefully ordered world is shaken on the eve of her First Confession. When her nemesis, a Sicilian transplant named Nico, shares the startling discovery of an adult magazine, a firestorm of shame triggers questions about an identity Leda doesn’t yet have a name for. 

Yet, when fate forces the two outcasts together, both frenemies find a rare kinship in each other’s darkness,  fighting to uncover their own truths in a cultural landscape of silence and hypocrisy.
