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.
