In estate cambiamo completamente, ridiamo, andiamo a ballare, viaggiamo alla scoperta di posti meravigliosi e, a volte, incontriamo quella persona che sconvolge le nostre vite.

L'estate è la stagione dei tramonti da vedere con quel primo amore che fa uscire tutti di senno o delle serate tanto desiderate che ci vede protagonisti di cene a lume di candela accarezzati da una brezza leggera che ci anticipa cosa succederà nelle seguenti ore. E' la stagione adatta per scoprire la passione che arde due corpi che si uniscono per vivere una storia indimenticabile... Sì, l'estate è la stagione perfetta.
