Gioia (2026)

Gioia, a high school teacher, has only ever known love through the suffocating grip of her parents, with whom she still lives. Alessio, one of her students, sells his body for a few hundred euros to support his mother, a supermarket cashier. The fragile, forbidden connection that grows between them is something neither can resist, yet Alessio's relentless drive to climb the social ladder silently poisons everything. Ultimately, he rejects Gioia’s unexpected love, shattering the one bond that truly cared for him.
