Luigi Celeste is twenty years old and lives with his mother Licia and his brother Alessandro, the three are united by a deep bond. It's been almost ten years since any of them have seen Franco, their partner and father, who has made the childhood of the two boys and the youth of Licia a memory made of fear and abuse.
Luigi lives on the streets and, in search of a sense of belonging and identity, he joins a far-right group where he still breathes anger and oppression.
One day Franco comes back, he wants his children back, he wants his family back, but he is a man who poisons everything he touches and makes those he loves prisoners of his shadow.
The story of Luigi and his family is one that reaches the bottom of the abyss to complete a path of rebirth, whatever the cost.
