| Synopsis | Power, money and blood: these are the 'values' that the residents of the province of Naples and Caserta confront every day. They have practically no choice, and are forced to obey the rules of the 'System', the Camorra. Only a lucky few can even think of a leading a 'normal' life.
Five stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly invented world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality. Don Ciro is "il sottomarino". Totò is 13 years old and can't wait to "grow up". Marco and Ciro think they are living in a Brian de Palma film. Roberto is a university graduate and wants to work. Franco offers him a great opportunity, steady employment with good earning prospects: a job in the field of toxic waste management. Pasquale is a talented tailor who works under the table for a small enterprise subcontracted by the haute couture clothes industry. Cannes Film Festival 2008: Winner Grand Prize of the Festival; Winner of 7 David di Donatello awards including Best Film, Best Director; Winner of 5 European Film Awards including Best Film, Best Director. |
