Synopsis: Annalisa is a teenager who lives in Trento during the time of South Tyrolean terrorism, an era when the Southtyrol-freedom committee, which goal was the autodetermination of the region, through the secession from Italy and annexion to Austria, thus obtaining, under the sovereignity of this last one, the politic unification of the historical region of Tyrol, puts bombs everywhere as an intimidatory act. Annalisa is scared of the bombs and seeks on the Grandpa’s newspapers anything related to the topic, but she’s just a little girl after all, who falls in love with a schoolmate, has her first period and writes everything in detail in her diary. Then the bomb explodes also in Trento station, and at the same time a girl is found dead in a fuel tank. News that shocks the young Annalisa, but doesn't stop her to peacefully live her puberty, because life always trumps everything after all.
