Cena di Classe
A group of former high-school classmates reunite after seventeen years for the funeral of an old friend. Fuelled by alcohol and a long-forgotten video, they sneak into their old school at night to relive the magic of those years. But a simple reunion soon turns into an adventure worthy of the criminal code.
«Uno strepitoso manifesto millennial che non si crogiola nella nostalgia»
