Armando is a 13-year-old boy who lives in the reflection and emulation of his older brother, a die-hard ultras fan. Drawn by his admiration for the colors, the tifo, and the emblems, Armando tries to show himself to his brother as a little adult, old enough to face the dangers of the Curva and the tifo. His older brother partly tries to engage him, teaches him how to use a knife, and entices him to learn a chorus, but he also shows himself to be very tough, always marking his own superiority. When Armando sets off a smoke bomb in the house, the big brother’s certainties come into crisis in fear that something bad has happened to the child. Arbiter of his own life, but still a child, Armando is in effect a Little Attila.
