Naples, 1956. A city caught between the aftermath of a World War and the hope for a better future. The bombs have left a virtual army of displaced people living in precarious conditions. The liberation has left the Americans: a majestic fleet at anchor, the impeccably-dressed officers, the rumbling jeeps and soldiers who want for nothing. In this mist, a destitute young boy believes he has become friends with the movie star of his dreams.
From the novel by Francesco Costa.
