While playing outside one day, nine-year-old Michele discovers Filippo, who
is chained to the ground at the bottom of a hole. Michele witnesses town
baddie Felice nearby and suspects something bad is happening. Michele is
unsure whom he should tell about his discovery, eventually spilling the
beans to his closest friend. Michele's parents learn of his discovery and
warn him to forget whatever he saw. (There is a lot more that goes on. This
synopsis is far to basic, slightly incorrect, adding up to create quite a poor
summary. I highly suggest this movie, the filming is wonderful with a great
flowing soundtrack to accompany the story which is enjoyably slow. I think
that this is the way movies are meant to be-without product sponsors and
glittery special effects, just human stories)
