回复 :Abandoned by his father at the age of five and raised in near isolation by a loving, yet emotionally unstable and over-protective mother, the only life Peel Munter has ever known is within the confines of his childhood home. Upon his mother's unexpected death, 30-year-old Peel is left lost and utterly alone. With no job, family, or friends, he must make a choice; live as his mother did, lonely and unsettled, or change the course of his impending fate by breaking out into the unknown, facing the trials and tribulations of an outside world he doesn't understand. Unable to make the house payments, Peel decides to take in a couple of drifters as roommates. After forging what seems to be a burgeoning new family and brotherhood, one of the roommates betrays Peel's trust, compelling Peel to venture out in search of his long-lost, real brothers who had been taken away from him decades ago. Along the way, Peel's lack of cynicism and innocence has an inadvertent, yet powerful effect on those he meets, as he brings a group of marginalized misfits closer to their true home.

回复 :剧情改编自意大利语言学家兼小说家佳维诺莱达自学成功的真实故事，他原是萨丁尼亚地区的牧羊人，二十岁之前还目不识丁，后因不堪父亲的淫威而自愿从军。军中一位袍泽教他读书识字，从此改变了他的精神世界。退伍后他跑去上大学研究语文，然后回故乡用知识跟严父对抗。幕后花絮：本片是意大利导演塔维亚尼兄弟首部扬威国际影坛的力作，获戛纳电影节金棕榈大奖。导演用沉寂多时的意大利新写实主义电影手法来处理这个发生在穷乡僻壤的父子对抗故事，气氛平实感人，有一种原始的美。当年轻的佳维诺在聆听了陌生人的手风琴演奏，而决定拿两只小羊换取手风琴的那一刻令人兴奋，因为他终于采取行动反抗父亲了。
