Marking Luca Guadagnino’s TV debut, the series will be set on the American NATO base Casama Ederle in Vicenza.

A missile base for the Italian Air Force and NATO between 1959 and 2008, the compound has since been returned to the Paduan municipality and was used, until recently, as a centre for immigrants. Guadagnino will be filming in the Veneto region for 16 weeks, starting 29 July.

Fraser is a young and introverted New Yorker who lives with his family on the Italian military base, where he soon gets to hang out with a group of kids his own age. Caitlin, on the other hand, is a resourceful girl who has adapted well to life on the base, learning how to hunt, and how to helm her father’s fishing boat. When the two fourteen-year-olds meet, a close and complex friendship is formed.
