Anchorless (2026)

À Beira do Cais

In 2022, on a trip to Brazil, 15-year-old Augusto—a quiet, dreamy soul—finds himself captivated by 16-year-old Antônio, a magnetic and unpredictable boy from Belém. Under the blazing World Cup season and the shimmering waters that mirror their fleeting time together, a fragile bond takes shape. When Augusto returns to Italy, the distance transforms what could have been a romance into an all-consuming obsession. He sinks into fantasies and the hollow ache of unanswered messages, while Antônio moves on through parties, friends, and casual flings. What starts as a hopeful connection unravels under the weight of time, silence, and all that remains unspoken. As the years slip by, Augusto must confront a painful truth: some loves are never meant for the future—they live only in memory. Raw, intimate, and deeply emotional, *Anchorless* explores the tenderness of first love, the heartbreak of letting go, and the harsh lesson that not every story is built to last.
