In a tiny Italian rural community, the adults shelter indoors while six children venture out on their bikes across the scorched, deserted countryside.

To come to terms with what he finds, he will have to draw strength from his own imagination and sense of humanity. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe reader witnesses a dual story- the one that is seen through Michele's eyes, and the tragedy involving the adults of this isolated hamlet.
