  L'uomo fiammifero
  THE THIN MATCH MAN
  Simone, an eleven-year old boy, has to spend all summer at home under the ferocious gaze of his father. Outside: the sweet wind of adventure. Inside: the blackest boredom. Then Lorenza, a 13 year-old mysterious girl with green eyes, arrives in Simone's village from the city. For Simone it becomes a question of life and death: he must escape from home and run away with Lorenza to his fantasy reign. There, among imaginary friends and giant dwarfs who live in the dark under his bed, the two children search for the Thin Match Man, the king of that enchanted kingdom.
