* Synopsis :


Pina and Wicky live in Bagnacavallo, a little small town, and have just completed high school. Finally they are allowed to go to Bologna for attending the IX edition of the wellknown anti-prohibitionist rally “Street Rave Parade”. They meet in front of a music store managed by Cricket, a ‘70’s survivor.


Pina, once alone with Cricket, reveals to him that once in Bologna they want to try some drugs like ecstasy and Cricket decides to lecture Pina on the realm of illegal drugs. It’s early afternoon when Pina arrives in Bologna at the gathering of the “Street Rave Parade”. Here she meets with Bugs, a young stoner, who immediately pass her a joint. Then she founds Wicky together with a strane guy who’s nick name is Chillum. He has plenty of different pills and some LSD bloaters known as Happycoffi. While the party is kicking in, Pina is tempted and accepts an Happycoffi, but she swallows only half of it.


Pina starts experiencing the effects of LSD while the parade is moving along Bologna’s outer ring avenue. Once the effect of the psychedelic drug has calmed down, Pina once again finds Bugs right in the middle of the party. They decide to ask Wicky to contact Chillum for getting some drugs. Pina, Bugs and Wicky meet with Chillum and together they head up to the city center. In some small medieval alley we see the two weird characters previously banned from the parade.
