A HIGH-SPEEDED DETECTIVE ADVENTURE: A MISFIT GANG IS IN SEARCH FOR THEIR NEW BEST FRIEND

Pino suf­fers from hae­mo­phi­lia – after an inju­ry his blood does not stop flowing. Playing out­side with other child­ren is out of the ques­ti­on; any acci­dent could end­an­ger his life and home­schoo­ling is an annoy­ing per­ma­nent sta­te for him. When he makes fri­ends with a gang of kids, he is over­co­me by a thirst for adven­ture. He final­ly wants to live a nor­mal life. Suddenly, Pino dis­ap­pears, and the poli­ce assu­mes it as a runa­way sto­ry. The SNERDs suspect some­thing else. Mavi, Ciccio, Mei Ming and Domenico set out to find their new fri­end. And so a high-spee­ded detec­ti­ve sto­ry about free­dom and fri­end­ship unfolds, for which even gre­at risks are worth taking.
