    • Christian, a bricklayer by day, tries to keep his younger brother, Giulio, at school. With their mother being an alcoholic absentee, and their father figure being quite non-existent, it proves to be a challenging task. Ali, the owner of the grocery store in their building, grows to resemble a paternal reference for the brothers, thanks to his generosity and understanding of their needs. The struggling duo represent the common heroes of our time: the heroes of survival.
