SYNOPSIS
Alfonso is a Neapolitan scientist who has just lost his job. Gayan is a fascinating former cricket champion from Sri Lanka, now penniless, who has just arrived in Naples in the belief that here he will find paradise. What do these men have in common? How can such different people come into contact and how can their lives become so indissolubly bound? In a multi-ethnic Naples, Alfonso and Gayan’s lives become intertwined as they are forced to share a shack built illegally on the rooftop of a building in the heart of the city’s Sri Lankan neighbourhood. And from this paradoxical cohabitation, a very special friendship is born, a partnership that gives them the courage to face their fate and change it forever.
