Synopsis

Twelve-year-old Stan faces his biggest fear: a holiday to Italy without his family, accompanied by his (fifth) best friend Felix and a group of strangers. Armed with his mum's emergency list, including tips on surviving shark attacks and kidnappings, Stan worries more about unfamiliar food and social mishaps. As he navigates jellyfish, mosquitoes, and peculiar grown-ups, Stan discovers that confronting his anxieties might lead to unexpected growth. Will he return the same boy, or will this trip change him forever?
