June 1990, the final question of the final exam: "What will you do now?" Emanuele knows what he wants, in fact, he knows very well: "The national anthem while I'm on the podium, the journalists waiting for me at the airport, the girls tearing their hair when I pass." A wild, erotic, coming of age romp that resists and evades the trappings of autofiction, following Emanuele through dreams, frustrations, passions, and failures in the process of becoming himself.
