About the film

What it’s about

Sandro works as a lifeguard at a beach resort, where he also tends to the needs of women holidaying without their husbands. His older brother brings his fiancée Laura to spend the summer with the family before the wedding, and Sandro is given the task of watching over her conduct. The arrangement places Sandro in close daily contact with Laura, and his attraction to her grows as the holiday unfolds.

What hooks you

Laura Antonelli and Alessandro Momo play the mismatched pair, with Orazio Orlando as the brother. Salvatore Samperi directs a cast that also includes Lilla Brignone and Monica Guerritore. The film's slogan promises a moral about keeping affairs within the family.

Who it’s for

It suits viewers who like sun-soaked comedies of manners where propriety and temptation collide. It will also appeal to those who enjoy stories of youthful infatuation and the awkwardness of family obligations during a long, idle summer.
