Flavio and Alessandro are bound by a friendship as deep as life itself. They love wandering through the city’s streets, especially those skirting the countryside and swallowed by the woods, where old dogs linger in sorrow for their owner’s departure, and even older abandoned barrels make for perfect hoops. Today, their path leads them to places they have never seen before, places they did not even imagine could exist. Only upon the branches of a large cherry tree can Flavio and Alessandro picture what tomorrow will bring – when Alessandro will leave to study far away from here.
