Italy 1970s, in a small village in the mountains. Pietro, a child raised by his widower father, a surly man with money problems, begins to manifest mysterious gifts: he can bend metal simply by touching it. An American scientist starts studying him. The experiments will lead the child towards an invisible world where the unquestionable laws of physics collide with the deepest human desires.
