01:34Oh yes, this is the story of a young boy and a long journey, a great friendship, thousands of obstacles and tons of adventures.
01:45But I have to go way back to 1944.
01:50It was already springtime when the relentless war reached the small towns of central Italy.
02:15I have to go way back to the small towns of central Italy.
02:21I have to go way back to the small towns of central Italy.
02:31Sorry, Mom.
02:36Where are we going, Mom?
02:38Look, Sheriff. We're running out of time. The others are already going.
02:42Did you hear that? Grab what you can and let's leave. It's not safe here anymore.
02:49This was our home.
02:52When this war is over, it'll be our home again.
02:58And if it's no longer standing, we'll rebuild it even more beautiful than before.
03:02I promise.
03:05We'll be back soon, won't we, Dad?

15:53one step at a time
15:56i used to live on a farm in my beloved south
16:00i plowed the fields and the farmer lived off my work with his family
16:04they repaid me with love and respect
16:07it was a hard but tranquil life
16:11until the war came knocking at my door
16:16some tired soldiers turned up in search of food and water
16:20like any sicilian my owner welcomed them and gave them everything he could
16:25but after eating and drinking someone noticed me
16:28at first my owner objected but then he grasped the situation and i was handed over to those men
16:36and i've never seen my owners since
16:41after leaving the farm i walked for days
16:44only seeing war and destruction
16:47and i crossed the sea
16:50only to find war and destruction on the other side too
16:57i was all alone in a strange land
17:01and there was no way i could ever turn back
17:05and one step after another here i am
