In the destroyed city of Taranto, little Pietro ( Dennis Protopapa ) and his best and only remaining friend Cristian ( Giuliano Soprano ) dream of escaping their deprived existence. Your goal is to get to New Taranto on the other side of the fence in order to have a better life there.
First of all, however, the duo joins a charismatic but unpredictable gang boss ( Alessandro Borghi ), whom everyone meaningfully calls just “Testacalda”, i.e. “hothead”. The boys’ friendship is put to the test when Cristian quickly rises in the gang’s hierarchy.

Inspired by the best

In addition to him, there are also Ludovica Nasti from the great series «My Brilliant Girlfriend», Barbara Ronchi («Hotel Imperial») and Josafat Vagni from «Borgia».
