Tough, gripping drama about a committed, principled priest taking on the Mafia and risking his life in a poverty-stricken parish in Naples.

A social worker dedicates himself to the recovery of children who have dropped out of school in the streets of Naples thanks to the circus arts. His work, however, is not well received by the families of the neighborhood and the courage of these children, with their stilts and their red noses, will clash with the harsh reality.

Immersed in the jungle, among relics of a "forgotten future", two kids, Yaya and Lennie, meander. The two live freely in their Eden until armed men, who carry with them an "ancient" concept of civilization, force them to leave their territory. It is the beginning of a journey in search of their place in a world that no longer belongs to man.

Ottavio Camaldoli is a professor of Latin and Greek. An honest and gentleman, he is considered a "fool" by everyone around him. But what would happen if this defenseless man, a victim of petty daily abuses in his social life, at work, and even at home, were to receive another man's heart transplant? Especially if this other man, the donor, were a brutal criminal with the sinister nickname of "O Barbiere" (The Barber)? Would Ottavio Camaldoli, after inheriting the heart, automatically become a criminal? Science tells us that these are just silly, ancient beliefs. But what if Donna Carmela, the Barber's ruthless mother, were convinced that her son is still alive thanks to the heart now beating in the professor's chest?
