Synopsis
In the summer of 1968, a high school graduate dreams of the woman of his life, falls in love with several women, mostly married and taken, which puts him in a number of delicate and comical situations. This annoys his father, a municipal judge, who believes children should be raised “with a firm hand”. The graduate is not too interested in the historic events of 1986 that reach even his small town. When he finally finds his one true love, it will be cut short for social-political reasons.
