The film tells the story of 16-year-old Nena, who is confronted with the suicide attempt of her disabled father. At the same time, she falls head-over-heels in love for the first time in her life, with Carlo, whose father has just outed himself. Away from the prying eyes of the adults - who struggle with failed marriages, blossoming love and insufferable physical decline - they push the boundaries of their friendship, love and sexuality. But while discovering her own lust for life, Nena realises that her father's existence is becoming more and more unbearable.
