- Synopsis
- Isabella lives a modest and frustrating existence in a working-class neighbourhood of Latina. Her husband has been dead for three years, leaving her alone with her son Paolo, named by his father after his football idol Paolo Rossi. Paolo, like the great footballer, has a phenomenal left foot, and since her husband’s death Isabella has been obsessed with the idea of making him a professional footballer.
  When Isabella finds out about a competition that could give Paolo the opportunity to show off in front of the main Italian talent scouts, she does anything in her power in order to enroll him in the participants list. Unfortunately she is the victim of unscrupulous people, ready to take advantage of her ambition. On top of that she has to deal with everyday problems of a single mother and with a ghost from her past that she buried deep down her heart.
  Paolo does his best not to deceit his mother’s expectations, but their relationship undergoes the pressure and the stress of the path they chose to follow. For the sake of her son, Isabella will have to ask herself if what she is doing is really in Paolo’s interest or if she is pushing him toward a dream that is not really what her son wants.
