Peppino Impastato, Luigi Lo Cascio, grows up in a tight-knit Sicilian family in Cinisi, where a warm, celebratory mood surrounds a gathering that he attends as a child. The film opens with him singing Nel blu, dipinto di blu in the back seat of a car with his brother, a moment that feels innocent and carefree. The story quickly anchors itself in the volatile reality around him as his uncle, Cesare Manzella, the local mafia boss, looms large over the town.
