How does one grow up on a planet that is destroying itself? The film attempts to provide a possible response to this urgent question, following for four years the beautiful and mischievous friendship between Bo and Luca, two teenagers who are as enthusiastic in their ecological activism as in their experience of the contradictory and surprising travails of growing up.
