Though at sixteen one can become confused by love, get lost in it or become dependent from it

Bolzano (Italy) Today. An amateur video rocks a high schools’ quiet routine. The main characters are Alberto e Amanda, two young people that met on a school trip and who from that day have been inseparable. Their relationship seems an adolescent love like any other. Though at sixteen one can become confused by love, get lost in it or become dependent from it. When Amanda finds out that Alberto is an habitual user of online sex she doesn’t reprehend him and for love she agrees to take part in increasingly audacious games to the point of letting herself be filmed while they have sex in the school’s chemistry lab. The video makes them feel in love, invincible and becomes their secret; but not for long. Comments about Amanda’s sexual performances start to appear on the school walls and on the social networks. In a moment of weakness Alberto posted the video on the web. Things between them and for them start getting bad. Nonetheless the girl decides to stick up for Alberto and stays by his side.
