A 14-year-old boy uncomfortable with everything; society, school, family, friends, but most of all, uncomfortable with himself.

A safe refuge from the frightening and incomprehensible world outside.

An angel/demon that suddenly enters the microcosm of the young protagonist who, absorbed in distracting the reality to be faced with video games, horror novels, and Coca-Cola, immersed in the darkness of a cellar, never imagined having to confront a much different darkness: the one that instills fear.

Ammaniti, in just over 100 pages, creates a clockwork mechanism that triggers the decisive spring: the one that will finally allow the child to explode into the adult who must embrace life by facing death head-on.

Emotional, moving, funny, and gripping; take an afternoon and refuge yourself now for a few hours in this story that quickly unfolds but leaves a mark.

(Bertolucci has already announced that he will base his next film on this "Io e te")
