Echo in the Village

Pietro is a thirteen-year-old shepherd boy who lives in the sixties in Cappadocia, an isolated village in the mountains of Abruzzo where life has kept the same rhythms as always. His uncle emigrated to Venezuela and has promised him that he will send him the necessary documents so that he too can emigrate. Meanwhile Pietro wants to learn English and his grandfather, who wants to help him realize his dream, discovers in the newspaper how Pietro can study a foreign language even without a teacher. But not all the inhabitants of the country are so open to the future...
