In Trent, a peaceful town in North Italy, the phenomenon of racism unexpectedly flares up, reaching a level of extreme intolerance. This piece highlights the life of a family, a community and some young people that in spite of themselves become involved in a reality much greater than they are. Tolerance, openness, mutual listening and the search for true friendship prove useful tools for untying the knot of discord, hatred and fear of difference.

It is an appeal written back in 1925, that still touches our deepest chords and challenges us to be builders of peace.
