Ciro is a young boxer from Naples. He lives in the Ventaglieri neighborhood, in the old city. When he was only thirteen his teachers Geppino and Lino Silvestri taught him that the making of a champion lies in having a big dream that can drive your willpower. And Ciro’s dream is to live a normal life, despite the hard lessons he had to learn early in life and the difficulty of growing up in a neighborhood in which violence and decay are constant companions. Thus, boxing became a way for the boy to achieve his objective.
