故事发生在二十世纪六十年代的意大利,电影讲述了女主角露切娜在青春期的一次混乱旅程。露切娜一直是个反对传统观念的女孩子,小小年纪却毅然投身于共产主义思想和战争,这让母亲和继父不知所措。当时,美国和苏联在航空领域竞争激烈,露切娜的哥哥阿尔图勒倒是和露切娜一样,有着浓厚的政治热情,他两一起狂热拥护苏联航天员,想要长大后走上航空之路。但阿尔图勒的支持对于露切娜来说,只能算是一部分。因为阿尔图勒一直想成为宇航员,却患有癫痫。癫痫一方面是阿尔图勒实现航空梦想的障碍,另一方面也可能是他不想长大和成熟的原因。阿尔图勒因此一直落后于他那叛逆的妹妹。露切娜在理想上不落后,在爱情面前也是毫不示弱,若第一个选择不成功,她会立即寻找有效的安慰。电影鲜明的画面色彩和独特的背景音乐使观众可以更好地了解露切娜混乱无序的内心世界。
