4 SYNOPSIS Marco, 20 years old, solitary and resolute, a difficult relationship with his father, a motorbike, and fierce anger. Much different from his friend Andrea, a nice person, always seeking smoke and girls to seduce, painstakingly grading their physical characteristics. Great love will change the lives of both: Andrea meets Dafne, a young dancing teacher who ll make him gradually give up his career as Don Juan; Marco meets Giulia, radiant and full of life, keen on extreme trials as him; she shares with him difficulties in family relationships. Thanks to Giulia, little by little Marco will forget his self-destructive side and will lapse into joy. When everything seems to be perfect, they get the terrible news of the girl s illness. Marco will have to gather all his strength to give Giulia the dreams a cruel destiny wants to steal her
