Matteo, a nine year old kid, designs a mask identical to that of his hero: a wrestler of a Roman suburb called The Tiger. Once the mask is on, Matteo never takes it off: he goes to school, sleeps in it and even bathes with it. What simply appears as a tantrum is in reality a call for help that nobody seems to hear.
Matteo, un bambino di nove anni, costruisce una maschera identica a quella del suo mito: un wrestler di Corviale chiamato Il Tigre. La maschera diventa una seconda pelle per Matteo e non vuole togliersela per nessuna ragione. Quello che a prima vista viene scambiato per un capriccio è in realtà una chiara richiesta d’aiuto che nessuno riesce a cogliere.
