It's summer and Silvia confides her intimate secrets to her diary. On the beach, under the hot sun, her body is exposed, vulnerable, and at the same time the object of a desire that is still unknown. Sweat, skin, and glances mingle in a game of curiosity and fear, where every little gesture seems to carry weight. Silvia feels she is completely abandoning her childhood and is afraid of growing up. How does one give their first kiss?

In 2022, Procida was named Italy’s Capital of Culture. That same year, twelve boys and girls joined the Atelier di Cinema del Reale on the island. Some of them had never used a camera and many had never been to Procida. This film originates from the desire to tell the island's story and the urge to investigate the practice of film-making and the desire to make films.
