Description:	English translation of the title: "He's Not Here!" In 1959, Lino Leggio is a boy like many others, who lives through wonderfully difficult years and has a myth: Elvis Presley, a god with a unique voice to whom he must bring as a gift, no matter what the cost, the musical score of Santa Lucia. Thus begins a wonderfully reckless journey of hundreds of kilometers, involving his best friend in a crazy, reckless and unrepeatable odyssey through Austria and West Germany by hitchhiking, without documents for expatriation and with a few lire in his pocket. No one will stop them: snowstorms, borders to be crossed clandestinely, aberrant forms of racism and not even a tragic accident that will claim two lives. Hunger, cold, hardship, hostility dispensed liberally, but also friendship that cements everything and helps to overcome everything. Source: Amazon.
