Synopsis
Sixteen-year-old Enzo lives with his family in Secondigliano, a poor suburb of Naples. His father’s sudden death leaves the boy with the difficult task of caring for his mother and sister and Enzo soon finds his path crossed by a series of circumstances and events that continually put his integrity to the test. However his determination and courage finally prevail and his family regains the dignity it had seemingly lost for good.
