The title of the
movie means “Italian” but connoted by a strong disparaging tone. The main
character of this movie is Pietro, an Italian child leaving to Germany to meet his father, emigrated some years before in order to find a job.
Pietro
is a courageous, shy and sweet child, but in a country of which he does not
know the language and where he has not a home, his life is not going to be
easy. Through his experience the movie tells the world of Italian emigrants in
Germany, their hopes, their frustrations, their efforts to get a better future
than the one they had back in their native country.
