Triste e arrabbiato: La storia di Marian (2002)

Marian is a sixteen-year-old boy from Rumania. When he was six he accidentally swallowed some caustic soda, which burnt his esophagus and pharynx. Ever since then his life has been a torment, in and out of operating rooms. He eats by means of a small tube that has been implanted in his stomach and breathes thanks to a cannula. His voice is a whisper because his vocal cords were damaged during an operation. Marian has arrived in the Italian part of Switzerland to see if the hospitals there can make his dream come true: he would like to live a fairly normal life.
