Plot
Pino is an eleven-year-old boy who lives apart from the world, not because he doesn't want to be with the rest of it, until he suffers from a strange disease that forces him to live isolated from the rest of the world and from other childrens. Pino, because of his condition, only talks to adults who protect him too much by preventing the child from making his own decisions, nullifying his own voice and placing him in a place where he does not want to be.
After a long time locked up, Pino decides to rebel against his parents and their authoritarian grandmother abuse to help four strangers conjoined twins who are calling The SNERDs.
In his eagerness to discover the world that he was deprived of until now, Pino will indulge in countless crimes and unknown territories from his glass bubble.

The Italian director Samuele Rossi is in charge of bringing this film to the big screen, co-scripted by himself along with Rolando Colla ('The Guard and the Inmate') and Josella Porto ('There Is a Light: Il padre d'Italia').
