About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Dave, nineteen, has just graduated high school, with his three friends: the comical Cyril, the warm hearted but short-tempered Moocher, and the athletic, spiteful but good-hearted Mike. Now, Dave enjoys racing bikes and hopes to race the Italians one day, and even takes up the Italian culture, much to his friends' and parents' annoyance.
Sun-drenched nostalgia and the bittersweet ache of post-graduation aimlessness fill this gentle slice of Indiana life. A cycling enthusiast finds himself caught between the comfort of his working-class roots and the allure of a world far beyond his small town.
