This is the story of Fabietto Schisa, a boy growing up in the tumultuous Naples of the 1980s. Sorrentino returns to his hometown to tell his most personal tale of fate and family, sports and cinema, love and loss. A story full of unexpected joys, such as the arrival of football legend Diego Maradona, and an equally unexpected tragedy.
