It is with this arrest when he was 5 years old that Mario’s life quickly turned wild, violent and adventurous. When his mother will miraculously find him again in 1947, both will start on a road to rebirth that will take Mario, to use his own words, “from rags to research.”

Amongst the young cast members, essential to the film, are Sofia D’Elia, Lorenzo Ciamei and Riccardo Antonaci. As for the adult actors, we find Francesco Montanari, Tonino Tosto, Laura Haddock, Edward Holcroft and Elisa Lasowski.
