Italy, the early sixties: Yuri, a young boy who lives with his mother and a little sister (his father has abandoned them) meets Razzo, a tough streetwise boy and becomes his friend. Eight years later the two friends meet again on different political sides: Yuri has become a leftist while Razzo goes out with some right wing boys. Nevertheless during a brawl Razzo saves Yuri's life before meeting a doomed fate.—Salvatore Santangelo <[email protected]>
