Life... what a sweet, cruel, silly thing.

ComedyDrama

From childhood to fatherhood, Piero learns things the hard way while growing up in a working-class neighborhood of Livorno.

VIBE

A poignant, sun-drenched look at growing up in Italy's working class. It captures the awkwardness of adolescence and the enduring bonds of friendship with a gentle, often humorous, touch. Feels like looking through old photographs.
