Carmine is ten years old and lives in the Spanish Quarter of Naples. Today he will finally embrace his father, shortly to be released after a long prison term. Unfortunately however, only a few hours before their scheduled meeting, the man falls victim to a heroin overdose. Through a series of fortuitous circumstances, his body will be found much later and far away from home ...
Ten years later, Carmine is profoundly different. Now, everyone in the neighbourhood knows him only as Canemalato! Anxiety, wierdness, psychotropic and 'normal' drug abuse and an obsession: Little Angel!
