ANGELIKA’S NOTE

The thrilling mystery of I'M NOT SCARED comes from the perspective of a young boy who discovers another young boy who is being kept inside a hole in the ground. Inspired by the novel by Niccolo Ammaniti, and directed by Gabriele Salvatores (NIRVANA, THE INVISIBLE BOY), Rolling Stone calls I'M NOT SCARED "A fierce, frightening and deeply moving study of childhood."

SYNOPSIS

In southern Italy, Michele, a bright ten-year-old boy, finds a filthy, incoherent boy chained in a cellar hidden outside his village, but fears to speak of it. Putting together what he learns from television, he begins to connect the boy, his own impoverished parents, and a series of unexplained visiting strangers, with a high-profile kidnapping that has the entire nation on edge.
