Amidst a harsh environment of drugs and violence, a gang of lost kids hustles to make a living while trying to keep themselves entertained. Working under a pimp called The Pope, the gang goes about its business until a mysterious kid with a masked face, Voodoo Doll, enters the picture.

As he quickly becomes the Pope’s right-hand man, tensions arise between Voodoo Doll and the others, until a series of events unfolds to reveal his true mission, one whose objective lies far beyond love or power.

Director: Roberto Minervini
