The perfect hideout from where to pursue the most aleatory artistic projects, far from the hassles of life. Now in their 50s’, they are suddenly reunited by the premature death of their charismatic leader, Mauro.

Looking at the rusty skeletons of the ships in the Harbour, he is kidnapped by an hypnotic sound: an ancient musical instrument, the Jew's harp, seems to indicate a way. Thus begins a journey of redemption, from the torrid coasts of Sicily to the frozen plains of Yakutia in Siberia, where the Jew's harp is a spiritual instrument and national symbol.

Together with his fellow prisoners, he founded a school. This unique institution was open to all, welcoming people of all ages and social backgrounds, even the illiterate.

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.
