Lorenzo, a handsome first-year professor in an isolated Italian village, falls under the spell of his most beguiling pupil, a dark-haired, starry-eyed 12-year-old named Duilio. As Lorenzo's relationship with his heartless girlfriend deteriorates, he finds himself walking the fields with his loving student. When their idyllic friendship is questioned by Duilio's suspicious stepmother, Lorenzo is brought to a crisis of conscience.

see after having just finishing up this film i’ve got to say that someone needs to do a study on europe and their weird ass obsession with romanticizing literal pedophilia because it was very much not needed and they could have just made both of the main characters in this film the same age or adults and i get that it was very one sided in this film with the younger boy being the one that had these feelings for his teacher but still didn’t sit right with me because that is a literal child and not to mention how some of the scenes in this film had me feeling extremely uncomfortable at times and when i went to go look online at other people’s reviews on this film it was just loads of people talking about some unrequited love and then praising the film and i was just sat here thinking to myself at how none of these people had any issues with this fucking film because again it was a grown man with a 12 year old boy?? like are yall okay in the head to think that was some tragic lovestory when it wasn’t any of that sort.
