The puppet show narrates the story of a female wolf that captures a child using racist, classists and patriarchal legal frames in order to remove the custody from a single migrant mother whose resistance gives her the power to recover her child.

The show made entirely in Italian and presented for fist time in the Gianicolo in Rome reflects on the fascists and colonial ideological grounds that sustain the contemporary institutional racist violence inflicted to single migrant mothers in Italy whose children are removed by Social Services.

The background painted in oil over canvas depicts diverse Italian monuments and buildings that are part of the racist and fascist symbols and institutions related to the content of the play as well as the entire script.
