As Pietro struggles against the bullies and revels in his friendship with Gloria (the prettiest and richest girl for miles) his lonely teacher Flora devotes herself to her catatonic mother until Ischiano`s one glamorous son returns to seduce and forget her. In the painful aftermath Pietro`s attempts to escape his own crushing sense of failure lead him to destroy everything he holds dear in one futile moment of hurt and anger.
