What happens

Glassboy è un film del 2020 diretto da Samuele Rossi, basato sul libro Il bambino di vetro di Fabrizio Silei. Il film è ambientato in un luogo indefinito presumibilmente negli anni '10 del 2000 (anche se secondo il produttore Emanuele Nespeca il film è da considerare "sospeso e fuori dal tempo") e segue le vicende del bambino Pino, affetto da emofilia e da sempre costretto a vivere nella villa di famiglia; un giorno trova il coraggio di sfidare il mondo esterno e si unisce alla banda degli Snerd.
