08/02/2019 - The documentary, a French-Italian co-production, is set to have its world premiere in the Panorama section at the Berlinale

Alessandro and Pietro are 16 years old and live in Naples, district of Traiano, where, in the summer of 2014, Davide Bifolco, also 16, died, shot while being pursued by a policeman who mistook him for a fugitive. They are inseparable friends: Alessandro works as a waiter in a bar, Pietro dreams of becoming a hairdresser. Alessandro and Pietro accept the director’s proposal to shoot themselves with an iPhone, commenting live on their own daily experiences, their close friendship, their neighbourhood – now empty, in the middle of summer – and the tragedy that ended Davide’s life.
