The daily life of a small community has to deal with the Second World War which is sometimes so close and sometimes seems so far away. Pietro is a young man with a restless soul, who seeks in patience and determination a way to find his place in the world. In large strides, however, war will occupy almost every moment of the day. In a slow but steady crescendo, all emotions will be amplified and distorted in a whirlwind of needs, fears and hopes. If death seems to have the upper hand, life doesn\’t stop anyway. Everyone will be involved.


Alessandro Cerciello was born in Marigliano in 1977. Graduated in Modern Literature at the Federico II University of Naples, he lives in Rome with his wife.
