Animali che attraversano la strada

In a Roman suburb, 14-year-old Martina, a child prostitute, navigates life with her father’s unacknowledged paternity, her mother’s profession, and a younger sister. She forms bonds with a slightly older boy, Sciu, and a fellow petty criminal. However, their lives take a turn when a young police officer becomes interested in protecting them from her superiors. When Martina refuses to become a police informant, tensions escalate, threatening to disrupt their fragile alliance.
