The Gypsy community in southern Italy is typically poor and chaotic. The fourteen-year-old boy is eager to grow up as soon as possible and be self-reliant like his elder brother. He smokes and drinks, and learned the skill of stealing from his elder brother. It doesn't matter if he can't read or write; it's practical if he can recognize money. When his elder brother was arrested, he became even more outrageous, stealing cars and breaking into houses. During this time, he met an African youth and suddenly realized that there was kindness in the world. However, in the end, it was discovered that the price of a coming-of-age ceremony is to understand betrayal and ruthlessness. Jonas Capinano, an ItaliAn-American director, directed a short film of the same name three years ago. This time, Martin Scorsese has taken on the role of executive producer, casting non-professional actors to capture the vivid sense of the slums.
