Spoilers ahead
Gaetano, Massimo Troisi, is a shy Neapolitan boy who grows up in a tight-knit southern city, surrounded by family: a brother, a sister, his mother, and a father whose fervent Catholicism guides every moment and even led him to seek a miracle from Madonna of the swords to restore his missing hand. The world feels claustrophobic and provincial to Gaetano, and the dull routine of a factory job only amplifies his restlessness.
