In a poor neighborhood of Naples, a young boy named Ciro has been witness to an execution and is searched by the local criminal organization, his family and the whole community. The boy finds shelter in the apartment of an elderly man, Gabriele, a quiet and educated piano teacher. The relationship between the two seems to be conflicting at first:Ciro has a wildly fierce and impetuous nature; Gabriele is a solitary soul who hides frustrations and secret passions. While the two try to get along with each other, Gabriele starts making dangerous decisions which could lead the two either to death or freedom.
