As a tribute to the nouvelle-vague of the French cinema, Fiore leads us to a reformatory where the young Daphne wound up as a metropolitan mobile phones thief. In jail she falls in love with another detainee, Josh, who returns her love, but they can't do much more than look at each other and send furtive messages and little passionate letters. It's forbidden for men and women to meet each other. Daphne certainly isn't accommodating, she burns both her bed and her possibilities for an early release. However, the two are able to kiss when Daphne jumps at the window Josh is looking out of, and also at a New Year’s Eve dance. Valerio Mastrandrea plays the part of a father who just got out of prison and who meets Daphne during her night out. At this point the movie goes to an unexpected and less predictable direction than you may expect. Giovannesi wisely succeeds in directing the movie and the actors, for an attentive cinephile the story has some déjà vu, but the technique has been improved also thanks to the direction of a couple of episodes of Gomorra’ second season. This movie has been presented at the to Quinzainedesrealisateurs of the Cannes Film Festival and the Italian critics acclaimed it very much.
