A robbery ended badly. Everybody can escape, Curro is locked in the car by the police and ends in jail. Eight years. But life continues, even for him. Ana, her companion, is pregnant during one of the married visits. José, a mild, taciturn-looking man, has nothing to do with the robbery, but he’s gravitating in a very unclear way around Ana, his child, and her brother Juanjo. But who is José, a simple man with gentle ways, a gentle look and a silent person or someone else, a man who is looking for something, locked in the past and voted for a single cause?

The Camorra seen through the eyes of a child.
Sarah is a determined girl who doesn’t go anywhere without her backpack and guitar. She gets in touch online with Philip, a boy her age. They meet up in a place in between mountains, which her father has shown her. This is not a romantic film however. Her motivation are quite different. She suffers from love for an absent father, he is the school freak and wishes he were noticed more by his classmates. Both they come from families that communicate little and they are victim in a world they don’t listen to and does not listen to them.

Naples, 1753. In his workshop, sculptor Giuseppe Sammartino is struggling against the fear of failure.
