Beneath the noise

In the heart of Rome, two teenagers (both 17 years old) carry scars no one sees. Chiara is the golden girl- top of her class, perfect on the outside, but hiding behind a mask. Her sketchbook, guitar and soccer are her escape: her only way to scream when she can’t. Luca is her opposite: confident, charismatic, unpredictable. A school rival with sharp comebacks and a hidden edge. But beneath the swagger is a boy covered in bruises, waking up to slammed doors and walking on glass in his own home. They clash in class and anywhere their paths cross. It’s rivalry, it’s “war”, it’s tension so thick it chokes. Until pain start to blur the lines between hate and something else. As secrets slip trough the cracks and scars speak louder than words, Chiara and Luca are forced to face each other (and themselves) in ways they never expected. “Beneath the noice” is a slow-burn enemies- to- lovers story about trauma, survival, and finding someone who hears the sound beneath your silence.
