Comedy drama / Coming of age

THE ASTRONAUT AND THE PUNK

Elena Beatrice, Daniele Lince

Matilde, 16, is obsessed with air pollution and prepares for environmental disasters by training in apnea. A life changing summer begins when she meets Zoe, a girl who challenges her fears and opens her up to the world.

Matilde is 16 years old, struggles with her emotions, and has an obsession with air pollution. For this reason, she wears a smog helmet and takes an apnea course to learn how to hold her breath for as long as possible in case of an emergency. At the start of a long, scorching summer, she meets Zoe, a girl her age who disrupts her ordinary life and forces her to confront the world she had been avoiding.
