Italian coming-of-age drama. English: “A Year of School”
In September 2007, Fredrika, a 17-year-old Swedish girl freshly arrived in Italy after her father is relocated, is enrolled in an all-male senior year class of an istituto tecnico tecnologico in Trieste. There, she quickly becomes the center of attention, especially for three classmates: sensitive and poetry-reading Antero; the popular yet bereaved ladies’ man Pasini; the amiable, father-bear figure Mitis. Despite officially welcoming her as “one of the lads”, each of them secretly desires a romantic relationship with the bright and fun-loving ‘Fred’, putting their long-standing friendship to the test. Yearning to be truly accepted into the group, she will be asked to sacrifice more and more.
