On the outskirts of a southern Italian village, while playing in the ruins, 10-year-old Michele discovers a Mafia secret place where an emaciated little boy is locked up. This discovery will turn his whole world upside down and change it.
Gabriel Salvatores shot a film that won’t leave anyone indifferent and where everything is in its place: the picture, the music and the game of jokes. A film that is impossible to forget.
