Sono Mattia, Scala C
This is Mattia Castagna, Scala C, a shy and clever boy from a small town nearby Milan. His story begins in Italy in the ’70s, when his father dies and Mattia’s childhood falls apart suddenly. But Mattia doesn’t give up: no matters how young he is, he’s willing to do anything to support his mother and his little brother Uccio economically. Until, as often happens in life, something goes wrong and everything starts to change. An innocent’s charged and a teen’s forced to live in a detention center, Villa dei Gerani, with his new borderline fellows and a new stubborn girlfriend. They soon become Mattia’s dearest friends, who for a lifetime help him to fight against a destiny of violence and his sworn enemies. A story of passions and broken dreams, in the fair Italy and its historical events.
