Denti da Squalo

Walter, 13, has recently lost his father Antonio, who died in a work accident. He wanders aimlessly through the streets of the Roman seacoast when he arrives at a villa where there is a swimming pool. He dives into the water and is suddenly confronted by a shark. Having escaped danger, however, he remains fascinated by the place and returns there even in the following days. That place, however, is not abandoned but belongs to a legendary crime boss, the Corsair. There he meets a boy a bit older than him, Carlo, who pretends to be the janitor of the mansion and who first threatens him and then befriends him and gets him to join the local gang whose leader is Tecno. Meanwhile, Walter's mother Rita seeks in vain a dialogue with her son and is increasingly worried about him.
