PLOT : Twenty-year-old Luigi Celeste lives with his mother, Licia, and his brother, Alessandro. Nearly a decade has passed since they last saw their father, Franco—a man whose presence once filled their home with fear, pain, and relentless abuse. Now consumed by anger and searching for belonging, Luigi is drawn into a violent far-right group that thrives on hatred, manipulation, and
oppression. But when Franco unexpectedly returns, his presence reopens old wounds, reigniting trauma and threatening to unravel everything Luigi has built. This gripping tale follows Luigi and his family through the depths of despair and the fight for redemption—no matter the cost.
