Salerno, 1975.
In the vibrant south of Italy, adolescence blooms amidst cobblestone streets and the clamor of bustling markets. Ciro is about to discover that seemingly insignificant moments can change everything. He experiences that unique instant when childhood begins to fade, and adolescence becomes a bridge to the unknown.
Among the streets of a small provincial town, where dreams mix with the aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the hustle and bustle of the market, stories emerge like the first rays of sunshine on a summer morning: warm, unexpected, unforgettable.
Ciro navigates the complexities of adolescence and discovers how this phase shapes who we are.
Quasi Quattordici (Almost Fourteen) is an intimate and moving journey through that bittersweet stage called adolescence, where emotions run high, and anything seems possible. This story takes us back to that magical crossroads between childhood and adolescence, a time of heightened emotions when adults insisted we were grown-ups but secretly continued to treat us as children.
Through adventures, reflections, and small rebellions, this nostalgic journey reconnects us to that forgotten us who once dreamed big, felt deeply, and questioned life without fear.
For those who want to reconnect with the most unforgettable moments of their teenage years, this work offers a nostalgic and profoundly human read. For anyone who once was almost fourteen, this is an invitation to laugh, reflect, and remember.
