      The director and his crew had a Fiat Panda full of film equipment stolen while filming the short film A Chjàna (2012). They went to the Romani community in the Ciambra to negotiate for their car. This is how the director first met the Amato family, who he depicts in this film.

      [to Pio]

      Nonno Emiliano: I was born in that thing.

      [pause]

      Nonno Emiliano: Pio, come here. Come.

      [pause]

      Nonno Emiliano: Once, we were always on the road. On the road. We were free. We didn't have bosses. We answered to no-one. We were free, always on the road. Now, we are here. Remember, It's us against the world.

      Pio: Against the world.

    ITALIAN NEO-REALISM AT ITS BEST
    Absorbing, Gripping, dark. Over 70 years since Italian Neo-Realism began, here is as fine an example of the genre as you could find. Nonprofessional actors creating a believable reality. This is the world of the poverty struck Italian Roma seen through the eyes of chain smoking, 14 year old Pio as he tries to establish himself in the world of Roma men.
