Lonely

Precious and Federico are united by their passion for music. The two teenagers live in the small Italian town of Como. While Federico's health hangs by a thread, Precious suffers from conflicts with her mother. These force her to be very independent and as self-sufficient as possible while still being very young. The two walk a fine line between their harsh reality and their dreams and desires. Director Michele Pennetta's coming-of-age documentary focuses on teenagers whose everyday life is a constant struggle for survival. It is a tribute to the people who have had their wings clipped by fate at a young age, before they have had the chance to learn to fly.
