Nicola Santi Amantini

In a neighborhood on the outskirts of Rome the crime, drugs and graffiti are pervasive. A large apartment complex seems to be a prison for the inhabitants. Marco returns to the hood after serving time in prison for dealing drugs but he's rejected and abandoned by his wife. His old friends still want him to deal cocaine for them. At first he's reluctant but it seems to be all he knows to do. Faustino, Massimo and Federico are delinquents who hang out together while doing drugs, petty crime, and looking for sex. Sonia is different from the rest because she studies and works all the time but even Sonia won't escape without being a victim. A tragic incident brings the main characters together and leaves behind a trail of fire, blood and violence.

In a hypothetical near future (2029), a group of children, after a mysterious event, find themselves having to deal with a world without adults, electricity and technology, and set out in search of what appears to be the only woman left at the waist: "Roses". The protagonists of the story will embark on a journey to discover themselves, unspoiled nature and in search of a mother figure.
