During the era of the Republic of Amalfi, Maiori was the centre of maritime trade. The orchards and gardens proliferated in the area around the wide bay, where an agricultural economy thrived. In 1954 a terrible flood destroyed the village and reconstruction profoundly changed its face. Along with its rural life, Maiori also lost its memory but some people still seek to preserve it, perhaps for the current generation. A land and sea journey on the Amalfi Coast, a window in the present that opens on to a past rich in culture and living memories.

"Cover-boy" is the story of the friendship between Ioan and Michele, respectively Romanian and Italian. The serendipitous encounter of two worlds apart: the travails of a young man, son of the Post-Communist Revolution, who flees his country in search of a better future and the travails of another youth who instead scrapes along the margins of a Western society that is unable to offer gainful employment to so much of its youth.
