film profile], talks about the true story that inspired his film. He dicusses his meeting with the real protagonists, the reality of juvenile detention centres and the choice of a positive ending, which is rather unexpected and open depending on the viewer’s sensibility. Capuano also speaks of the difficulty of making quality films in Italy, where directors often find themselves forced to make fiction features and adverts.
