Matteo, a nine-years-old kid, builds a mask identical to the one of his hero: a wrestler of a roman suburb called The Tiger. Once the mask is on, Matteo never wants to take 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.
