Kiko is a teenager whose now dead father was Italian and his mother Marilou is from the Philippines. They live with Ennio, mother's new boyfriend, a foreman who recruits and exploits illegal migrant workers. Kiko goes to school but at the same time he is forced to work in Ennio's building yards. He feels he lives in a wrong planet. There's only one place where Kiko can dream: an old abandoned bus in a dump yard that he's turned into his private refuge. One day it seems his fate could change: an elderly friend of his father's, Ettore, comes looking for Kiko and offers to become a strange kind of tutor for him. But one day Ettore reveals to Kiko his real identity...

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a fragile world of adolescent perception, where the harsh reality of construction sites and migrant labor collides with the fantasies of a bus-refuge. It explores the boundaries of trust and exploitation, relying on almost documentary-like footage of work and the quiet despair of the protagonist.

Those who tire of fast-paced narratives will find a tense, slow-burning immersion into life on the margins. What lingers after viewing is a bitter taste and a question about the cost of growing up in an alien world. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Vittorio Moroni
