Sting Like a Bee

A bold, heartfelt, and visually stunning hybrid documentary follows Italian teenagers from suburban areas across central and southern Italy. They candidly discuss their daily lives and the challenges of growing up in a comforting yet limiting reality. United by their passion for Piaggio Ape three-wheeled mopeds, iconic symbols of Italian culture, they navigate adolescence's transformative journey. As they explore their surroundings, they face the complexities of self-discovery (or rediscovery) in a world that both embraces and intimidates them, forging their path amid the intricacies of teenage life.
