Set during an unforgettable summer in Calabria, Fabio Mollo’s third feature My Soul Summer is a musical coming-of-age tale that marks the big screen debut of 2020 Italian X Factor winner Casadilego.
A shy and insecure seventeen-year-old girl, Anita (Casadilego) feels different from her peers but has no true sense of who she is. In a summer by the sea, instead of spending her days with other teens on the beach enjoying the holiday fun, Anita prefers to study the piano to prepare for an exam at the Conservatory.
Next door to her lives Vins (Tommaso Ragno), a legendary rock star with a turbulent past. Vins recognises her special talent and encourages Anita to discover another way of experiencing music. Finding a voice that she did not even know she had, she also meets Vittore, a shy boy different from all the others. During her Soul Summer, a time unlike any other, Anita discovers herself, her talent and her true passion: music.
