My family was at the head of a shoe store empire in Italy. The business is currently on the verge of bankruptcy and the family is burdened with debts. I have lived in Paris for eighteen years, where I work for television. I'm a reality TV director. Like the prodigal son, I decided to return to my home country to make my first film, a modern fable with a touch of Italian-style social tragicomedy. This is the story of my return to my roots. I was fortunate enough to be born and raised in a family of ordinary, colourful heroes who fight the destiny that tries to bind them to a life crushed by debt. To support them in this daily struggle, I did what I know best: I made this film.
