Il cattivo ragazzo che voglio
Chiara, in her final year at high school, is the typical good girl. Her relationship with Tommaso finished in the worst possible way: when the moment was right, Chiara couldn’t bring herself to make love because of her insecurities. And he, after inviting her to Circo Massimo on a beautiful evening, humiliated her in front of his friends. A few days later, Chiara meets Cesare, as dangerous as he is charming. Introverted and moody, his chest tattoo of interweaving brambles is a symbol of his resistance to affection. Their reciprocal attraction is strong, and so begins an uncertain love story set against the fascinating backdrop of the city of Rome.
