A 15-year-old Sardinian shepherd dreams of becoming a fashion designer. Giovannino is a young boy who has the dream to work in the fashion industry. Against the will of his shepherd father, he attends a fashion technical college in Sardinia. His father Antonio is a shepherd but a violent man, his mother Alice is a depressed woman who decides to leave her husband and her family after the continuous cheating of Antonio. It's June and finally the school is ending. The boy has to take care of her little sister, Stella, who is 8 years old and his father forces him with violent manners to look after the animals. During a fashion show organised by his school, his dress is wore by a famous model and luckily he is rewarded. He then understands that he is capable of doing great things with dresses and starts trying a way to leave his father and go away to chase his dream: fashion. —Marco Pollini
