Naples. Present day. Giovanna, a combative 60-year-old social worker on the frontline of the daily war against pervasive criminality, is confronted, like a modern Antigone, with a moral dilemma that threatens to destroy her work and her life. Giovanna runs an after-school centre that takes care of underprivileged children; a grassroots alternative to the mafia dominance of the city. But one day, young Maria, wife of a ruthless Camorra criminal on the run, and her two children take refuge at the centre, and ask Giovanna for protection.

Johann Wilhelm Trollmann becomes middleweight champion in Nazi Germany. He is the first Roma boxer in the world to win the title. He is famous for his dancing fighting style. With the enactment of the racial laws, he is imprisoned in Wittenberge and Neuengamme concentration camps, where he dies at the age of 37. He decides to die as a champion and fights with a Nazi kapo who challenges him. Rukeli, which means tree, the Gipsy, knocks out the Nazi and the entire apparatus of power.
