Plot:Autumn 2018. Elia, Ester, Ginevra, Ilenia, Loris, and Tiffany begin their school journey at the primary school in Pieve Torina, newly rebuilt on the ashes of the previous one, which was destroyed along with much of their village during the 2016 earthquake that struck the Marche region. From spelling and writing to video recordings created by the students themselves, the film follows them over five school years, ending in the summer of 2023, a transitional moment before middle school, amidst separations and reunions, online lessons and swimming pool days, visible ruins, and ongoing reconstruction efforts.
