This Italian answer to the American high school genre is a sparkling coming-of-age story about a young Swedish exchange student finding her way at a technical school full of boys.

She immediately becomes the center of attention, and not just because of her intelligence and knowledge. As time goes on, she builds a friendship with an inseparable trio: the fascinating and modest Antero, the extroverted Casanova Pasini, and the sweet and protective Mitis. Together they explore the streets of Trieste, party, think about the future, share secrets, and discover new feelings. 

The last school year will shape them forever. Un anno di scuola is the second film by director Laura Samani. After her debut film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, she premiered this film in Venice, where it won the Best Actor award. Laura Samani is seen as a director of the future of Italian cinema.
