Marco was an absent father. He left Italy and went to the United States looking for a better life for him and his family, and in doing so he lived his life far away from his wife Sofia and his daughter Gianna.

Over the years he tries to establish a relationship with his daughter through numerous gifts, only remainders of his existence, becoming an expert at gift-giving.

But how much can a present really make up for a parent's absence?
