THE GIRAFFE WITHOUT A LEG

Salvatore Principe is a gruff and a misantrope retired lawyer who lives in a sumptuos apartment where he spends his days buying rare stamps online. When a Senegalese family moves to the apartment in front of his, the lawyer barricades himself in the house for fear of the new neighbours.
But little Fatima, one of Dembaba’s daughters, wants at all costs to let him enter her “coloured kingdom”. The lawyer will block any attempt at the beginning until he has a good reason to befriend the girl.
