Ugo, a separated screenwriter, deals with the difficult condition of his son Umberto’s dyslexia. Soon the child’s difficulties in reading and writing result in behavioural disorders. The parents question the nature of his problems, which they believe stem from their separation, but the chance discovery of an American book on dyslexia will make the father realise the origin of his problems: having prevented him from crawling when he was less than a year old. With a series of targeted exercises, he will manage to heal Umberto and make him achieve a coveted promotion, at the price perhaps of curbing his true inclinations.
