On the Lazio coast of Coccia di Morto, Kimutai, a young African boy, enjoys the sun on the shore.

Maicol is an 8-year-old boy who lives in one of the houses of the popular lots of the Trullo in Rome with his father Valerio and his mother Giusy. As a gift for the school promotion Maicol receives the money to buy the jersey of his favorite team.
