FILM

FRI-MON A Ciambra at The Little Cinema

In a small Romani community in Calabria, 14-year-old Pio Amato is desperate to grow up fast. He drinks, smokes and is one of the few to easily slide between the region's factions - the local Italians, the African refugees and his fellow Romani. Pio follows his older brother Cosimo everywhere, learning skills for life on the streets. When Cosimo disappears and things start to go wrong, Pio sets out to prove he's ready to step into his big brother's shoes.
