Synopsis

In every person's life comes a moment when, for the first and last time ever, everything seems clear. When all the wanting, dreaming and desiring that go along with being young suddenly seem to have a purpose--a purpose that gets harder and harder to remember as you grow older. For 12-year-old Gennaro Spirito that moment comes one steamy summer day in 1933 when his simple desire--to gather enough money to go to the movies--comes together with his aged but invincible grandfather's passionate final dream, bringing them both an unexpected chance at happiness.
