Synopsis:

Rome. Claudio is fifteen years old and someone has written “J’ador” on his forehead because he smells like a girl. It’s Lauro, the eighteen-year-old leader of a group of boys claiming to be fascists and engaging in activities for an extreme right-wing party. Claudio wants to join them at the “dinner” at the section, but one can only attend if part of the group, and smelling like a girl isn’t allowed. To achieve his desire in an afternoon, Claudio must lose his teenage scent and learn to smell like a man.
