À propos de cet audio
New York, 1987: In a city torn apart by racial tension, Damien Cavalieri is an adolescent without a tribe. His mother - who pines for the 1950s Brooklyn Italian community she grew up in - fears he lacks commitment to his heritage. Damien's fellow Staten Islanders agree, dubbing him a "fake Italian" and bullying him for being artistic.
Complicating matters, his efforts to make friends and date girls outside of the Italian community are thwarted time and again by circumstances beyond his control. When a tragic accident shakes Damien to his core, he begins a journey of self-discovery that will lead him to Italy, where he will learn, once and for all, who he really is.

"If Lenny Bruce had stolen a time machine, kidnapped the young James Joyce, and trained him in a Staten Island dojo circa 1975, the result would be this portrait of the artist as a fake Italian boy." (Anthony Lioi, Nerd Ecology: Defending the Earth with Unpopular CultureFiction. Italian & Italian American Studies)
