SYNOPSIS
Desiré, a Nigerian, lives with her drug addicted mother in a bass in the center of Naples, and is forced to sell weed for little money in her neighborhood, on behalf of the hegemonic clan. One night she is arrested by the police and sent to the juvenile penitentiary of Nisida. Her detention lasts eighteen months. During this time, a slow journey of silence, listening and desires begins. Towards the end of her detention, Desiré has to deal with her past.
