UNA STORIA PER RISENTIRE LA LEGGEREZZA DEI MIGLIORI ANNI DELLA NOSTRA VITA. PER IMPARARE A VOLARE E NON VIVERE SEMPRE CON I PIEDI PER TERRA. Alice e Viola sono gemelle identiche. Viola si è affacciata per prima al mondo, Alice l’ha seguita da vicino stringendole forte la caviglia.

Per tutti, sono indistinguibili: hanno gli stessi amici, frequentano gli stessi posti, hanno le stesse abitudini e gli stessi sogni.

O almeno questa è la sua sensazione per dieci mesi l’anno, finché non arriva l’estate e lui torna con i genitori in Basilicata, dove la vita sembra più autentica.
