Director: Leone

Synopsis: A story of love, life and tuning.
A musical journey through passion and courting, exploring the human nature behind the tuning of one of the most iconic vehicles ever made in Italy, the ApePiaggio. 

Like a restless bee who’s looking for the most beautiful flower in the field, Nicola buzzes the streets of Vasto – a place forgotten by God – in search of love and personal affirmation. 
A path that will lead him to contend for the conquest of the territory and the heart of his beloved.
