Camillo is a thirty-year-old man who is innocent and naive. He does not speak, sees the world in black and white, and lives with two elderly puppeteers who picked him up somewhere. Camillo is a dreamer who believes he comes from a distant world, perhaps the Middle Ages. He likes to wear armor and helmets and go into the woods to fight his own private battles. His best friend is a boy with Down syndrome, the son of the town's marshal, the only one who seems to listen to the nonsense of the one who, for many, is just the village idiot. But suddenly, Camillo's adoptive parents die, and with them, the court of friends who revolved around him.
