GOING ALL THE WAY

USA   

Going All the WayThe encounter of two men who are absolutely different one from the other in summer 1954, in Indianopolis, USA, is the starting point for this story. Sonny, timid and unpopular, and Gunner, hero of the local football team, discover they have much in common, besides the fact they have both returned from the Korean War. Together, they begin to question the sense of life and endeavor to discover objectives in life in common. The encounter of both breaks through the limits of sex, of friendship and social convention, in a dazzling reconstitution of the fifties.
