The attempt is to make him audition to become one of the best players of his age, but “talent is not enough,” says the agent Marcello (Massimo Ranieri) to Isabella: they need 6 thousand euros. The woman has a modest job and you can’t afford that figure. However, he will try to find a solution.
Isabella is blinded by an almost impossible goal and does not look reality in the face: Paolo does not socialize with his classmates, does not apply and above all what is his real desire? The mother doesn’t ask herself. One of the most touching scenes in the film is when the son tells Isabella: “I always see you angry and sad, you are happy only when I play football“. At that moment the protagonist realizes the mistake she is making. It will also be the meeting with the new neighbor Fabrizio (Francesco Colella) to restore some balance in the life of the two.
