Synopsis
Denni, 10-year-old, decides to hire a killer to eliminate the monster, a violent father who beats his mother. He sets his sights on Secco, a petty thug who accepts the mission knowing he won't do it. But this was without counting on the incredible determination of the boy. A funny and tender film that treats the subject of domestic violence with modesty and rightfully.
