In the summer of 1978, in a small village in southern Italy, nine-year-old Michele Amitrano discovers a secret that will change his life forever. While exploring the wheat fields, he finds a child imprisoned in a hole near an abandoned house. Michele faces a moral dilemma as he has to decide whether to help Filippo, the kidnapped boy, or remain loyal to the adults in his community. This story of suspense and friendship explores themes of innocence, fear, and the loss of childhood in a rural and oppressive environment.
