A haunting coming-of-age thriller about childhood innocence shattered by the discovery of a terrible crime in rural Italy, told through a child's perspective and moral isolation.

In a tiny community enclosed by wheat fields, the adults shelter indoors, while six children venture out on their bikes across the scorched, deserted countryside. Exploring a dilapidated and uninhabited farmhouse, nine-year-old Michele discovers a secret so momentous, so terrible, that he dares not tell anyone about it...
