Daniela Ioia

Felice returns to his native Rione Sanità in Naples to look after his dying mother, having lived abroad for the last forty years. Here he discovers that his old friend Oreste has become a notorious crimeboss.

Antonio Barracano, a man of honor distinguishing between “decent people and scoundrels” in the Neapolitan underworld, is the "Mayor of Rione Sanità". Administering justice according to his own criteria, beyond the State, he is faced with a difficult decision when Rafiluccio Santaniello, the baker's son, asks him for his benediction to kill his father.
