Description

Matt Benson, an FBI investigator, has been posted to the island of Panarea in the Lipari archipelago within the framework of an agreement between the USA and Italy. He has been allocated a comfortable, well-protected house with vast grounds and a private cove facing the Ginostra volcano. This delights his wife Jessie and their 5-year-old daughter Tina. A few days after they arrive, an 11-year-old boy, Ettore Greco (Mattia De Martino), a Mafia victim, is the sole survivor of a car bomb that killed his whole family. To protect the boy from the local mafia hood, Matt decides to bring Ettore to the house where he is living. This artificial adoption gradually reveals the tragic secret binding Matt to the child, a secret Jessie knows nothing about. From secrets to lies, the atmosphere in the villa slowly leads the Benson family to the gates of violence. Outside is the danger, inside is the fear. In between is an orphan child... A curious film...
