God's mountain
Synopsis
Italy, 1960. In the centre of Naples there is a cluster of alleys known as Montedidio - God's Mountain. There, a thirteen-year-old boy keeps a secret diary. His life is about to change; his world about to open. He works at a carpentry shop, and befrieds Rafaniello, a Jewish refugee, who is, within the hump on his back, said to be sprouting wings. Not quite yet a man, the boy struggles to make a place for himself in the adult world. But from the height of a rooftop terrace - with the help of Rafaniello, a boomerang, and a new, tender relationship with his neighbour Maria - anything seems possible.
