Untimely Frost ~ WattPride 2023 ~
Against a backdrop of vineyards in a cozy Italian village, the Caglierie family is preparing for a lavish anniversary party.
Excited to receive their son's gift - an original composition - Enzo and Isabella proudly boast to their guests about their nineteen-year-old's celebrated talent on the piano.
Gianni's true love has always been music, but that changes the moment he is introduced to handsome Nikola. As the red wine from the family's vineyard flows, and the pair get closer, Gianni realizes he is falling for the mysterious guest.
When Nikola begs him for a private audience, Gianni agrees.
Finding themselves alone, Nikola begs Gianni to play not his creation, but a requiem.
As the night progresses, and all the guests have left, the pair find themselves in the garden, drunk and obviously attracted to one another.
Yet Nikola carries a tragic secret - a painful reality he cannot escape from - one that will destroy him and shatter life as Gianni knows it.
