Michelle Pennetta’s wistful docudrama is about two very different, charismatic young men leading parallel, impoverished lives on the fringes of Sicily — both dreaming of escaping their harsh realities to a better life.

The film follows Oscar who, with his older brother, helps their controlling father gather scrap metal from unauthorised dump sites. 

His dad is always telling him off and putting him down – calling him stupid and asking: “Why were you born without a brain?”
