- Synopsis
- When a young African man immigrates to Italy to work with his"rich" uncle he finds himself penniless and alone in a foreign land with no way of finding his relative. He is taken in by otherAfrican immigrants who tell him the reality of the situation and he learns quickly that the only way he can try to make any money is by selling useless items in the streets. When he begins to get really discouraged he encounters some immigrant thugs who bring him to his uncle. His uncle takes him in and tries to encourage him to go down the right path but the realization that his uncle's success is based on illegal sales of athletic shoes makes him want to follow in his footsteps. One thing leads to another and soon the criminality of the immigrant condition becomes apparent and the outcome grim.
