FILM

In the 1930s in Rimini, a teenage boy named Titta who grows up between a Catholic education and Fascist rhetoric. His father, Aurelio, is an anarchist and anti-fascist. He also carries his two other sons, wife and elderly but lively father. He also lives with his loud and lazy brother-in-law, uncle "Pataca". His brother Teo, is locked away in an asylum. The town is inhabited by very singular characters, such as Volpina the nymphomaniac, Giudizio the mad man, Biscein the town’s liar, the lawyer with an easy rhetoric, the exhibitionist motorcyclist, and the blind man who plays with the accordion. Titta attends the city's high school where her oral exams alternate with practical jokes on teachers and peers. Her erotic-sentimental life is divided between the unreachable Gradisca, the tobacco girl's large breasts, and the summer dances at the Grand Hotel spied on behind the hedges. He shares the change of seasons with the town - fireworks to celebrate the arrival of spring, events, the passage of the Mille Miglia and of the transatlantic Rex, the visit of the fascist hierarch and ‘The Big Snow’. His mother's death and the marriage of Gradisca mark the end of his adolescence.
