Hi, Gianluca. I gave it a quick read and noticed some formatting, grammar, spelling, and punctuation issues — for example, lots of missing periods? I dunno if you are filming this yourself? If not, you may want to correct some of those issues. As far as a story, it's a bit confusing (on paper). Seems a murder happens at the end? Also, you may wish to write a logline. "A boy is deeply in love" is quite vague, not much of a concise summary of the narrative. But again, I'm not sure of your project goal. I do hope that helps some. ;)

I read this yesterday, per your request, thanks for sharing your script and inviting feedback. I also share Beth's comment about the ending. I was unsure what had taken place, if the boy had had something to do with it or not. On another note ... one piece of advice that sticks out to me when I begin a new story, Aaron Sorkin (the incredible playwright, screenwriter, director) once said to find the heart of a good story, go to the conflict. You have set the scene well with character dialogue, tone, and the lead's desire that drives the piece, but I felt the conflict, the obstacle was missing for me. I know his goal to get the girl, but maybe it is the conversation in which he acts on his desire was in fact the shortest moment? If it were me, adding an extra scene to expand this tension in the middle around his obsession (for example), especially after the rejection, would help dial this up. I hope my feedback helps, and best of luck with filming!
