June 2001. David is in his
last year studying physics in the most prestigious Italian university, the
Normale University in Pisa. An irreprehensible curriculum and a top
average, David lives in a parallel dimension made up of thoughts about
maximum systems, with little relationship to daily matters.
The day of his
last exam, David encounters Viola in the university hallways, she hands
him a leaflet and continues on her way. Without second thoughts he follows
her and ends up involved in a student assembly. From then on, for the
first time in his life, David starts asking questions and making choices:
what should he do? Leave the assembly or risk missing the exam? Then later
on, give up Viola or betray Luca, her boyfriend and now his best new
friend? What’s best? Be led by rationality or just follow your mood?
Passing through moments of comedy and moments of drama, demonstrations,
sit-ins and social commitment, in a few months David goes down a path that
discovers passions, and learns about feelings that in the end leave him
stunned, as if he had stepped out of a centrifuge, full of traumas and
above all full of life.
