Ambitious magistrate Vittoria (Valeria Solarino) makes the dramatic decision to relocate from the north to the south of Italy with one mission in mind – to defeat the Calabrian ‘‘Ndrangheta’ mafia. She is flabbergasted by the violence, the cruelty and the killings that Mafia men project – even youngsters are not spared. But instead of targeting the men, Vittoria tries a new approach; an appeal to the women involved in these circles. The bosses’ wives are as hard as nails; they will not talk and will not betray their powerful husbands, but could it be they have a soft spot for their own children?
amico di Nicola
Se mueve en lo grotesco y lo trágico en una Palermo cutre, surrealista y atemporal, reconstruida en el barrio Paradiso de Brindisi, en Apulia. El encargado de narrar la vieja historia de la familia Ciraulo es Busu, mientras espera su turno en la oficina de correos. El padre de la familia, Nicola Ciraulo es una especie de Homer Simpson siciliano, como ha dicho el propio autor del libro Alajmo. Para mantener a su familia vende el hierro que extrae de barcos abandonados. El resto de miembros de la familia son la madre Loredana, los abuelos Fonzio y Rosa y los hijos Tancredi y Serenella. La tragedia estalla tras un día en la playa. La pequeña Serenella, como si tuviese una corazonada, no quiere volver a casa. En un ajuste de cuentas mafioso, una bala perdida mata a la niña. Tras el luto, llueve el maná del cielo. Los familiares tienen derecho a una indemnización por parte del Estado de 113.000 euros... (FILMAFFINITY)
