One relentlessly hot summer, six children explore the scorched wheat-fields that enclose their tiny Italian village.

When the gang find a dilapidated farmhouse, nine-year-old Michele makes a discovery so momentous he dare not tell a soul.

It is a secret that will force him to question everything and everyone around him.

An unputdownable thriller, "I'm Not Scared" is also a devastatingly authentic portrayal of childhood and the tension that arises when it must join the adult world.
