Fabio, who works as an educator in the prison of Rebibbia, finds by chance his father, Luigi Sparta, who was convicted of murder and is now pretending to be epileptic in order to obtain the libertà condizionata. Fabio and Luigi have not been seen since the man abandoned his son, when he was only six years old.

Reception

[edit]

In her review for Variety, film critic Deborah Young called the film "the Italian debut of the year, at least as for critics" and referred to it as a film which "hits fever pitch early and never pauses for a moment of softness or to let the story breathe".[2]
