Mazzantini's heroes ask themselves. Two boys, two men, two incredible fates. The reader gradually, as if laying out pieces of the mosaic, learns the story of Guido and his childhood friend Costantino, and it becomes clear to him that the thread connecting them has turned into a steel wire stretched over a chasm of life.
