In a dark, velvety theatre there is a first kiss between Pietro and Tommaso. When the lights come back on, however, the two students have different expectations of what might follow. The chaos of awakening desire in its complexity and sensuality is told and made almost physically tangible through looks and gestures, approach and retreat, hope and fear.

"Between us" is the story of a dream, an idyll, a utopia. Alessio and Edoardo have always been friends, united by a bond that seems indissoluble. During a late summer afternoon, under a gray sky swollen with rain, the two take refuge inside an abandoned shed. Guiding them is the desire to be together, to honor a promise, to share a challenge. To cling to the past, to deny the future. As far as possible.
