It was 1946 when Amerigo left his district of Naples and got on a train. Together with thousands of other southern children he will cross the entire peninsula and spend a few months in a northern family; an initiative of the Communist Party to rescue the little ones from misery after the last conflict. With the amazement of his seven years and the crafty air of a child in the alleys, Amerigo shows us an Italy that rises from the war as if we were seeing it for the first time. And he entrusts us with the moving story of a separation. That original pain which cannot be avoided, because there is no other way to grow.
