Pio is 14 years old and wants to grow up fast. Like his older brother Cosimo, he drinks, smokes, and learns the art of petty street scams.
So when Cosimo is no longer able to look after the family, Pio has to take his place. But this role is too big for him and quickly overwhelms him, forcing him to make an impossible choice.
