In his debut feature-length film, Davide Gentile tackles the passage from childhood to adolescence with Walter, played by the newcomer Tiziano Menichelli. The 13-year-old has just lost his father Antonio (Claudio Santamaria) and now that school is out, he wanders the Roman shoreline aimlessly until he comes across a mysterious, abandoned villa where a huge, dark swimming pool sparks an unforgettable adventure. At his side are his mother Rita (Virginia Raffaele), troublemaker Carlo (Stefano Rosci) and the “Pirate”, a local criminal (Edoardo Pesce).
Locations included Ostia, Tor San Lorenzo (a hamlet of the municipality of Ardea, where the mysterious villa owned by Pirate is located) the San Paolo neighbourhood in Rome and Fiumicino.
Various scenes were shot in Fiumicino, on the lungomare, the bilancioni, the housing complex of comprensorio Ater in Villaggio Azzurro, on several main streets in the city including via del Pesce Luna and Largo Tommasi Crudeli and inland around Isola Sacra.
