Thefilm is based on the novel by Massimo Carlotto. Jimmy who is almost eighteen, has lived his whole life with his family
in Sarroch – a sleepy town in Southwest Sardinia. In this world, which is privy to share hopes and points of reference,
Jimmy will find himself living recklessly, leading him to the juvenile prison and all that comes with it. Delightful hills surround
the juvenile prison where the young prisoners will be taught how to live life better in the future and lead an alternative way
of life. Yet often, most young men like Jimmy will find it easier to stick to their life leading to a form of auto destruction,
instead of looking for a way out. One night Jimmy will have to make a decision which will forever change his life.
