Sinopsis:

After the hard life of the juvenile prison (Malaspina) in Palermo, the boys we met in the film Mery per sempre (Mery Forever) have all been released. But once outside they must face new and even more difficult problems than those faced inside the institution. They must learn to handle their problematic freedom in a city which refuses to accept them or to give them a second chance. They are marked as outcasts and this fact obliges them, in order to survive, to enter once more into the world of petty crime that sent them to prison. Their backgrounds made of broken families, or resigned mothers, of social assistants who merely reflect the inadequacy of the institutions, are of no help whatever. The street becomes the natural setting for their adventures. It is in the street that the tender and disenchanted Mery works as a prostitute with his friend Veronica...It is in the street that Cin-Ciong is killed during the night he is caught stealing.
