Gabriele Santoro lives in a popular district of Naples and holds the chair of piano at the San Pietro a Majella Conservatory. One morning, while he is shaving his beard, the postman rings the intercom to warn him that there is a package, he opens the door and, before welcoming it, runs to wash his face. In that short space of time, a ten-year-old boy sneaks into his apartment and hides in it. “The master” – as they call him in the neighborhood – will only notice late in the evening. When this happens, he will recognize Ciro in the intruder, a child who lives with his parents and siblings in the attic of his own building. When asked about the reason for his escape, Ciro does not speak. Despite this, the master instinctively decides to hide him at home, engaging in a singular and tenacious challenge to Ciro’s enemies. He soon discovers that the child is the son of a Camorra man and that, as happens to those who had to deny their childhood early on, Ciro ignores the alphabet of feelings. Silent, cultured, solitary, the piano teacher is a man of hidden, secret passions. It will be up to him the affective weaning of this child who has escaped from a destiny already written. A risky game in which, after an initial hesitation, Gabriele Santoro throws himself without brakes.
