My Tennis Maestro

Summer, late Eighties. After years of hard training and strict rules, Felice, thirteen years old and carrying all of his father’s expectations on his shoulders, finally reaches the national tennis tournaments. To prepare him in the best way, his father entrusts him to the self-proclaimed former champion Raul Gatti, who even boasts reaching the round of sixteen at the Foro Italico. Match after match, the two embark on a journey along the Italian coast that, between defeats, lies, and bizarre encounters, will lead Felice to discover the taste of freedom and Raul to glimpse the possibility of a new beginning. Between them grows an unexpected, deep, unrepeatable bond. Like certain summers, which come only once and never return.
