Il fuoco degli uomini

Pietro is a country boy who lives in a small farming community. He lives with his sister and his father, a man who grew up following traditions and whose hopes for the future are placed in the farmhouse where he lives. At the end of every summer, the elderly of the community subject the working-age boys to a rite of passage to determine their maturity and suitability to the adult world. Now it is Pietro’s turn to take part to the rite.
