The Swiss entry for Best Foreign Language Film in 2012 – an impressive and beautifully photographed film about the first steps into adult life. The peak of summer season on a campsite in Maremma, a popular beach region in Tuscany. Vincenzo and Adriana, a young blue-collar couple on the brink of divorce, trying hard to save their marriage, threatened by psychological dependency. Nic, their twelve-year old son, processes the traumatizing experience of his father’s violent outbursts in playing with his mates. While he hit it off with the group, he can hardly express his emerging feelings for Marie, who suffers from never having met her father.
