After a brilliant career as a fencer, Paolo now works as a sports journalist for a local newspaper. His friend Franz has died because of a heart attack. Just like Paolo, he was a former champion fencer and later became an entrepreneur, like many others living in that rich, northern province. At some point, Paolo realises that his friend’s life was not as clear as he thought. Even his death seems to hide some secrets. For Paolo, the search for the truth becomes an adventure in a completely unknown world, the world of the rich leather tanning entrepreneurs. It is a dirty world, but a fascinating one at the same time. A world of unusual encounters, like that with Giordano’s children: Chiara, his young and wild daughter, and little Leo, suffering from a particular form of autism that will help Paolo throw light on Franz’s life and death.
