The film is based on the story of Ben, abandoned by his owner and now kept at a dog shelter, like many other dogs that have been abandoned or maltreated. The film is also a testimonial to volunteers like Carmine, Melina, Rosa, and associations that devote their time, love, and attention to rescuing stray dogs, left to fend for themselves, particularly in southern Italy. The film is an urgent call to take care of other living beings.
