Summer 1976. So-called Years of Lead. Ten-year-old Valerio is a timid boy with rich imagination. Their world is turned upside down when Alfonso gets wounded in a terrorist attack, witnessed by Valerio. Once a powerful and untouchable heroic figure, Alfonso becomes vulnerable and insecure, while the feelings of fear and anxiety creep into the family. While his parents are trying to ensure a safe and normal life for their son, Valerio befriends the mysterious and rebellious older boy Christian. Their friendship and world gradually become a world of fantasy. The film is based on a true story from filmmaker Claudio Noce’s childhood. For his role of Alfonso, Pierfrancesco Favino (World War Z, Rush, Angels & Demons) won Best Actor in Venice.
