The film, divided in three pictures with a different style of narrative, is the story of Giovanni Nicolini, called "el Nene". Nene lives in Daone valley. His life has been hard because he lost an right arm in 1944, and his wife died at a young age leaving him four children to feed. Hunting was his salvation and, although maimed, he has become a skillful hunter.
