Alberto Soriani is eighteen years and, while the world is changing and the whole planet glued to their TV sets, life goes on as normal in his little village in Northern Italy. All his friends leave on an Interrail trip to Berlin, where the famous Wall, Cold War icon, is apparently about to fall; but Alberto has failed his exams and is grounded. Serena, his dream girl, is going too, but promises to send him a postcard at every stop. The first week five cards, the second two, the third a note saying she is not in love with him anymore. Then Alberto, heartbroken, meets the local Sofia Loren, Signora Vanessa, in her forties and with an eye for the boys. Can love triumph over the temptations of a confused adolescence in a small village?
