In the vibrant city of Naples, a young girl named Giovanna struggles to find her place between two contrasting worlds. The upper-class neighborhood where she lives with her strict parents is a far cry from the gritty, crime-ridden streets of the city's underbelly. When she meets her bold and unconventional Aunt Vittoria, Giovanna is introduced to a side of Naples that challenges everything she thought she knew. As she explores this new world filled with tough streets, vibrant nightlife, and complex characters, Giovanna must confront her own desires and identity, all while navigating the turbulent waters of adolescence.
