Più di Ieri/Más que ayerLa repentina muerte de su padre obliga a Christian, un tranquilo joven de diecinueve años, a mudarse de un monótono pueblo de provincias a los vibrantes y multiétnicos suburbios de Milán, donde vive su madre, Giulia. Giulia ve el regreso de su hijo como una oportunidad para enmendar su difícil relación, rota por años de distanciamiento e incomprensión. Ante la insistencia de su madre, Christian acepta un trabajo como barista en una pequeña cafetería. Allí conoce a Lucas, un chico sudamericano que es a la vez su colega y vecino de Giulia. Lucas y su excéntrico abuelo Juan, conocido como "el loco del barrio", reavivan la imaginación de Christian y lo animan a terminar su novela. La conexión innata entre Christian y Lucas se transforma en un sentimiento más profundo que los conmueve a ambos, ayudándolos a ver la vida desde una nueva perspectiva. Nuevos encuentros y experiencias despiertan a Christian, quien finalmente reconstruye la relación con su madre y encuentra la motivación y la esperanza para el futuro. Più di Ieri/More than YesterdayThe sudden death of his father forces Christian, a quiet nineteen-year-old, to move from a monotonous provincial town to the vibrant, multi-ethnic suburbs of Milan, where his mother, Giulia, lives. Giulia sees her son's return as an opportunity to mend their difficult relationship, which was broken by years of distance and misunderstanding. At his mother's insistence, Christian accepts a job as a barista in a small café. Here, he meets Lucas, a South American boy who is both his colleague and Giulia's next-door neighbor. Lucas and his eccentric grandfather Juan, known as 'the neighborhood madman,' reawaken Christian's imagination, encouraging him to complete his novel. The innate connection between Christian and Lucas evolves into a deeper feeling that shakes both of them, helping them see life in a new light. New encounters and experiences awaken Christian, who finally rebuilds his relationship with his mother and finds the motivation and hope for the future.
