In a small town in the Canton of Ticino, the hottest summer in recent years is the backdrop for the growth of Samuel, a 15-year-old teenager struggling with the most important moment of his young life. Samuel is an introverted boy who conveyed into drawing his creativity and his need to communicate. He invented the character of Aline, a lively and determined girl, who solves cases that not even the police can unravel. With her he converses in a continuous exchange between fantasy and reality. Determined to face a doubt that torments him and prevents him from fully living his age and talent, he hires a private investigator. With him he embarks on a daring adventure that will lead him to discover a painful truth linked to his family's past.
