“In 1983, on the Adriatic Riviera, the Rock-Ola Capri Jukebox attracted a group of teenagers to the beach bar. They spent most of their days there. The summer hits fanned the ardor of the bodies offered to the sun, thus participating in this dolce idleness whose flirtations, laughter and indolence were the expression of a happy youth.

Twenty years earlier I was in their place, at the end of the holidays I bought the records scratched by the intensive passages on the jukebox whose crackles on my record player restored the nostalgic memory. The 45s became the atmosphere, the smells, the faces, the encounters or the ephemeral loves of summer that we believe to be eternal”.
