I really enjoyed this film. At first I was really all that interested because I felt the story was a little slow to pick up but by the end I really liked the message it was sending about growing up and trying to find out who you are. In the story Caterina wasn't the only one growing and learning. Both her mother, Agata, and her father, Giancarlo had changed along with her.
Caterina learned how and what really divides people. She learns how strongly politics affect the children in her school and how much that means to them. Giancarlo learns, through his endevers to get his book read, that success is all in who you know. He sees first hand that along Daniela and Margherita's fathers are from opposing political parties they still respect each other but neither of them will give him the time of day.
By the end of the movie all the characters have grown into different people. Agata, Caterina's mother grows to respect herself and realize that she deserves true happiness. Giancarlo learns of Agata's affair, and is discouraged about his book so he disappears. And Caterina makes a decision for herself, kissing the boy next door, instead of being lead by the girls at school.
