Synopsis

Nic – aka Lovely Boy – is the rising star of Rome’s music scene. Covered in tattoos an oozing pure talent, together with his friend Borneo he founds XXG, an artistic duo projected toward success. Sucked into a spiral of self-destruction, Nic gets lost and is overwhelmed by the events, almost reaching his breaking point: only away from all that noise he’ll be able to face himself. In a rehabilitation community in the Dolomites Mountains that welcomes people who like him have plummeted into the abyss of drug abuse, he’ll try hard to find himself again, sharing that deep loneliness he carries inside himself.
