True Colours

Mirco Ricci grew up in a poor neighborhood of Rome, where drug use and violence were the order of the day. When he was six years old, his teacher Fabio Caramaschi, filmed him at his elementary school. Fifteen years later, Fabio picks up where he left off and starts filming again: Mirco has grown into a strong young man and he’s just getting started with his boxing career with the nick name “The predator”. Mirco’s family, his coaches, his beautiful girlfriend Rubina and his friends from the slums, all invest him with their expectations. But it’s Mirco’s body, more scarred after each fight, that pays the price of all these expectations. Over the years, despite street brawls, drunken nights and gunshot wounds, he fights his way up to become Italian light heavyweight champion and Intercontinental champion of the World Boxing Association. But is not easy to escape a marked destiny.
