But when he discovers a Nazi tattoo on his chest, Simone abandons him. Filled with guilt, he traces the man’s family: Marica, the eldest daughter; Marcello, a teenager plagued with racial hate; and little Paolo. The night will come when Marica knocks at Simone’s door and unknowingly asks for payback.
