Coming of age
Sport
I know your secrets
Michele is thirteen years old and has an app where he can read the secrets of his classmates. It’s “MySelf,” a social network where you can share thoughts and fears without fearing judgment from followers, because users are anonymous and no one knows their true identities. No one, except Michele, who can suddenly discover everyone’s secrets with ease. Because now that his parents have divorced, he has to move to the outskirts. There, he meets Basil, an energetic budding poet, Tessa, who torments him with recycling, and Luca, the most popular guy at school. A basketball player like him. And his biggest enemy. That’s when the secrets on MySelf might come in handy. Maybe.
- A dive into the life of a group of teenagers, just like any other, between the outskirts and the center of Milan.
- A discovery of how social media, now part of every kid’s life, can influence it to the point of triggering new scenarios, not always pleasant.
- A compelling story about the search for identity, acceptance, and friendship, where every secret can become either a weapon or a chance for understanding.
