| Plot: | Alessandro, an irascible 22-year-old, and Giorgio, an 85 year-old poet, live within a stone's throw from each other, but their paths have never crossed. That is, until Alessandro unwillingly takes a job as the elegant gentleman's walking companion. Over time, the poet's failing mind reveals memories of a hidden treasure. Following the clues Alessandro and his friends take Giorgio on a trip in search of the treasure, but find the true treasure hidden within their own hearts. |
