Sono nato, ma...

A silent-era sibling comedy that mistakes respect for adoration. Two boys strategically rise from gangland underdogs to near-kings then spy their father bowing under a superior’s glare, forcing a crash course in adult hypocrisy. A modest film that accidentally asked the right question at the wrong time.
