Наблюдательный мальчик Артуро интересуется особенностями преступной жизни родного Палермо. Его собственная жизнь строится между двух полюсов: с одной стороны — безответное чувство к прекрасной и недоступной Флоре, с другой — кровавые разборки мафии. Все герои фильма вынуждены жить двойной жизнью: их дни рождения, влюблённости, важные моменты проходят на фоне покушений, угроз, убийств, в зоне действия правил мафиозного «кодекса чести». Артуро — и в детстве, и в зрелом возрасте — пытается бросить вызов этой раздвоенности, следуя зову сердца и чувству гражданского долга.
