Marco a well-educated teacher takes a job in a boy's reformatory for a few months while waiting for a new posting. Inside he meets boys pretending to be tougher than they are and needing more than he's initially prepared to give. Natale is the toughened youngest son of a murdered Mafioso who's been convicted of killing his father's killer. Claudio is a newly jailed first time offender who's been marked as easy prey by the more experienced boys. Pietro is the illiterate rebel loner who's just been rearrested after getting out of the reformatory. And Mario (who calls herself Mere) is the transvestite hooker who has been incarcerated for almost killing a john who tried to rob her.
While this film covers very little that's new or remarkable it does manage to tell it's story and Marco actually shows a very enlightened view when he's propositioned by Mere.
