L'Avventura

Stevie is 7 years old in 1971. His tranquil life with his parents, grandmother, and four older sisters is about to take a turn for the worse. The bourgeois society he lives in, a French city called Nantes, is not ready for the sequence of events that are going to create havoc in Stevie's universe. Feeling hard done by destiny, despite his young age, he embarks on a road where few adults are able to follow. Thus, Stevie explores all aspects of life in this candid and bare-it-all account of his 'not for the faint-hearted' routine. During his drifting and solitary journey, he encounters people of various ages and backgrounds. The story paints a vivid portrait of life in the early part of the 70s, clearly depicting its sounds, images, and culture. This is the story of the coming of age of an extraordinary boy narrated at the first person by Etienne Beauregard in this dramatic debut.
