Niccolò Agliardi

In seaside Italy, a Holocaust survivor with a daycare business takes in a 12-year-old street kid who recently robbed her.

After the assault of a young woman in their seaside town, a security expert and his family get caught in a powerful riptide of secrets and lies.

Two contrasting visions of life: on the one hand, the "rock" and adventurous of the brave Livia, cellist without maternal instinct; on the other hand, the reassuring routine of his sister Tina, shy urban vigilant with an ardent desire for maternity.

Niccolò, a forty-year-old man with a successful career and a desire to give back some of what he has received in his life, becomes the foster father of Federico, an eighteen-year-old with a difficult past who grew up in a community. A deep and complex relationship begins to develop between them, an emotional rollercoaster that never quite manages to find true balance.
