Mendelssohn's "Italian Symphony" sets the tone for this film about a high-school boy (Dennis Christopher) who dreams of being a world class cyclist. His heroes are the members of the Italian cycling team. More than that, it is the story of four friends who are on the brink of growing up and moving away from each other.
