In 1958, Giovanni, a Sicilian man, arrives in Turin where his younger brother Pietro already lives. Giovanni harbours an ambitious project: he is illiterate and would like his brother Pietro to complete his studies, get a diploma and become a school-teacher. While Giovanni manages with difficulty to become integrated in the immigrants’ community, Pietro pretends to attend school every morning.
