A film on Nigerian emigration to Rome, seen through the eyes of the migrants themselves. The Torino Boys are a group of young Nigerians who travel down from Turin to Rome to watch a football match where one of their compatriots is playing. They meet the Roma Girls, with whom they discuss the problems of a community transplanted from the other side of the world, struggling to find its place within an indifferent society. Torino Boys tells a love story that offers a social cross-section unprecedented in Italian film production. Touching on topics such as trafficking, prostitution, marginalisation, extended family, soul music, hairstyles and even magic. Told with a light and good-humoured tone that conceals deep intentions, Torino Boys also features a hip-hop soundtrack that has made history in modern Italian music.
