Synopsis:
This is the story of Agnese and Cesira, two cousins who share a home.
In many neighbourhoods of Naples the gathering of trees for the Sant’Antonio feast day bonfire is a tradition, a ritual, an adventurous game that street kids hand down from generation to generation. For the outside observer, it may just seem like random rowdiness and hooliganism until late at night, culminating in a dangerous fire too close to buildings.
We wanted to recount what happens in many streets of the city in January, trying as much as possible to take the kids' point of view.

Il seme della speranza è un cortometraggio, che ha come protagonisti Tancredi, supplente di lettere, e tre ragazzi di prima media, Samuele, Marco e il siriano Nasser. Nasser era arrivato in Italia cinque anni prima con la madre, dopo una travagliata traversata del Mar Mediterraneo. Nasser è vittima di discriminazione da parte dei suoi compagni di classe incitati da Marco, un prepotente influenzato dalle idee xenofobe del padre. Samuele prenderà le difese di Nasser, mentre il professore prenderà questo episodio come esempio per far riflettere la classe.
