Una historia on the road donde la venganza y la redencion se mezclan con el crimen y la tierna relacion de un padre y su hijo.
Salvo de Benedittis nunca podra olvidar el dia en que, estando de vacaciones en la casa de la playa, unos hombres aparecieron para llevarse a su padre a quien no ha vuelto a ver. Casi siete anos despues, a punto de cumplir los doce anos, cuando ha conseguido tener una vida feliz con sus tios y su primo en otra ciudad y destacar en el colegio por su inteligencia y su pasion por la lectura, su padre se presenta para llevarselo unos dias con el. Ya no siente nada por su padre, que es practicamente un desconocido, excepto el rencor por el sufrimiento que su ausencia causo en su madre y que acabo con su vida. Obligado a compartir unos dias con el en contra de su voluntad, Salvo tratara de recomponer las piezas de ese rompecabezas en que se ha convertido la vida de su padre y, ademas, de ese viaje que emprenden juntos hacia el sur de Italia, que se convierte tambien en un viaje de descubrimiento mutuo.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A story on the road where revenge and redemption are mixed with crime and the tender relationship of a father and his son .
Salvo de Benedittis will never be able to forget the day when, while on vacation at the beach house, some men appeared and took his father whom he never saw again. Almost seven years later, about to turn twelve, when he has managed to have a happy life with his uncles and his cousin in another city and make a name for himself at school with his intelligence and his passion for reading, his father shows up to take him away to spend a few days with him. He no longer feels anything for his father, who is practically a stranger, except the resentment for the suffering that his absence caused his mother and that ended her life. Forced to spend a few days with him against his will, Salvo will try to put together the pieces of the puzzle that his father’s life has become and, furthermore, of the journey they undertake together to southern Italy, which also becomes a journey of mutual discovery.
