A group of kids who are staying in a home for "minors at risk" just
outside Portici participate almost by chance in their first rugby
championship, a sport none of them have ever played before. Practice
sessions, game clashes and the rituals of the sport alternate with the
daily routine. The team listlessly follows Ciro, one of the employees of
the home who used to play seriously, as his passion for rugby turns the
"Cinghiali di Portici" into a team ready to face the championship.
"Many people helped me work on this film, but the collaboration of
the community Il Pioppo of Somma Vesuviana and the Societ`
Sportiva Arzano Rugby were fundamental. If, as I hope, I have been
able to transfer onto film at least a few fragments of truth, I owe it
all to these kids, to their strength, their eyes their hearts, and to my
luck in having met them" (D. Olivares).
