The Blow
Nineteen-year-old Enzo and his twenty-year-old sister Carla have been left to fend for themselves for several years. When their father, Anthony, is released from prison, Enzo sees the fragile promise of a family to rebuild, unlike Carla, for whom the idea remains inconceivable. Haunted by his past, Enzo must confront a truth he has kept hidden for far too long.
