The Story: Italy, 1990. As the nation sweeps into the fever dream of the FIFA World Cup, twelve-year-old Lee (Leda Balni) feels the world splitting in two. While gaming, Lee is just one of the guys. Everywhere else, the world demands a performance of girlhood that feels increasingly nonsensical.
Lee has nothing against her anatomy—except that, as puberty advances, it’s the very thing casting her out from the guy gang she’s always belonged to. Then her first crush amplifies the chaos tenfold…
Set against the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Italy and Tuscany, An Italian Summer is a vibrant, poignant, and humorous fictionalized memoir of what it means to be yourself in the face of the world’s expectations.
