Mattia, a talented 17-year-old basketball player, dreams of playing in the regional championship final with his father watching. His dad, a city bus driver, rarely sees his games due to his work and his lack of interest in Mattia's passion. Faced with the likelihood of his father missing the most important game of the season, Mattia is determined to find a way to make sure his dad can be there to watch him play.

The idea for this film comes from a deep reflection on dreams and family relationships during adolescence. At 17, the world seems full of endless possibilities, a fertile ground for dreams and hopes. It's a time when faith in the future is unshakable, and every desire seems attainable. However, this period is also marked by misunderstandings and challenges that often elude our young minds. This film is not just a sports story but an emotional journey through dreams and human relationships. It’s a tribute to those who, despite difficulties, continue to believe in their talent and don’t give up. Above all, it's an invitation to rediscover and value family bonds, often tested by the challenges of daily life.
