I'm Not Scared (2003)

In the sun-drenched expanse of southern Italy, Michele, a perceptive ten-year-old, stumbles upon a shocking secret. Hidden outside his rustic village, in a forgotten cellar, he uncovers the grim reality of Filippo; a filthy, disoriented boy chained in desolation. Fear paralyzes Michele's voice, leaving him hesitant to divulge this appalling discovery. As days pass, Michele's innocent playtime morphs into a daunting puzzle, connecting the dots between Filippo, his own destitute parents, and an array of mysterious strangers trespassing through their humble hamlet. The pieces come together in the silhouette of a high-profile kidnapping that has the nation holding its breath - a sinister plot that casts an uneasy shadow over his once familiar surroundings. Meanwhile, the presence of Felice, the town's infamous troublemaker, near the concealed cellar raises unsettling questions. Torn between fear and morality, Michele grapples with his secret, eventually confiding in his closest friend. As the story unfolds, it weaves a chilling tale of innocence lost, courage tested, and the haunting truths that lurk beneath the surface of a seemingly tranquil village.
