When Silvano (as a boy, played by Federico Zanola) revisits his childhood home for the first time in years, he is soon overwhelmed by memories of the last days of World War II. It was a time when he witnessed murders and executions, formed a friendship with an elderly outcast, and learned that his father was not a heroic man of principle, but rather was a fearful man who was all-too ready to bend to whatever political winds were blowing. This story is based on director Silvano Agosti's autobiographical novel.
