The Stolen Children

A tender, melancholic journey about an unlikely bond forming between a weary policeman and two traumatized children as they travel toward an uncertain future.

Antonio, a policeman (carabiniere), has an order to take two children (Rosetta and her brother Luciano) from Milan to Sicily to an orphanage. Their mother has been arrested for forcing Rosetta (11 years old) to work as a prostitute. First the relation between Antonio and the children is tough, but it relaxes so they become temporary friends.
