Our story has to do with the first warnings of love and friendship. Our protagonists are between ten and eleven years old and all attend the same sports club: hockey and figure skating. Matilde has been in love with Tobia since third grade. It's time to get engaged officially! Katerina and Alexei are from Russia, and their stainless bond dates back to when they first met, in the clouds on a plane.The four form a group as tight as the fingers of a hand that does not hesitate to embark on fantastic adventures. The sports routine is disrupted by the arrival of Agata: her father has recently moved, she is different from the other girls, she is bewitching. And he electrocutes the heart of Tobia: he likes the recklessness, the breath of novelty brought by this little girl. Ajit, the son of Indian immigrants, and his fictional friend are in love with Matilda. In order to follow his training more closely, Ajit joins the hockey team. Will Matilda notice Ajit? Bomb news: A twin Moscow sports club invites them all to a quadrangular in the Russian capital! DIRECTORIAL NOTES Close your eyes for a second. Think when it was the first time you heard a dip in someone's heart, a simmer right here, at the mouth of the stomach. Don't lie. That's right, he was in elementary school. In elementary school, I had a crazy crush on a classmate of mine, and I couldn't tell her. A friend of mine gave it to him last month: at the age of 35. Funny, right? It took me twenty-five years to have the courage of my feelings. This is how when Marina Polla De Luca proposed this story to me, I was shocked: because she talks about the loves that children feel in elementary school, it seems written with the disarming innocence and the naïve ferociousness of children, and it is a story that has the courage to tell us the "factory of feelings", the period in which we begin to tinker with our emotions and understand how the hell to manage them in our lives , between starry trips and sudden awakenings. And these are sensations that we have all experienced: but it is Marina who has the ingenious gush of knowing how to tell them as if it were the first time. The first love. Elementary loves.
