As the film opens, young Michele sits uncomfortably on the periphery of his peer group, neither accepted nor disliked; his presence at school verges on invisibility to all but two school bullies. Both of these boys make Michele’s life a living hell as they devise new torments that seek to humiliate him at every opportunity due to his mother’s job as the local Police Inspector. But it’s not all bad, and Michele is excited by the prospect of an upcoming Halloween party where he plans to wear an awesome Spider-Man costume he’s saved up for. Alas, Michele bullies thwart his plans after stealing his cash, and Michele is forced to seek a budget outfit. As he wanders the town seeking something cheap, he finds a small Chinese store, and with only five euros to his name, he purchases a tight-fitting and decidedly dull superhero costume. Michele heads to the party, conscious that his costume is too tight and way too revealing for a teenage boy. But, needs must, and nothing will distract him from talking to his classmate and secret crush Stella (Noa Zatta). But on arrival, Michele, once again, finds himself at the centre of group humiliation – his only escape, the bathroom, where he wishes he was invisible.
