Riccardo Dalisi unveils a rarely seen Naples, removed from the shrill clamour of the news pages, and the big themes of the economy, the
recession and the environment. Instead he goes among the people, specifi cally the children of the Traiano area of Naples. Naples, the mysterious, layered city awakes and reveals itself. The true stars of this fi lm are the others, freedom and human encounter, where, just like in the Middle Ages, you can still do battle with the dragon.
