15 year-old Nicola lives with his mother and younger brother in Naples, a place that has been controlled by the Camorra mafia for centuries. Dreaming of a lush life, Nicola and his group of friends begin selling drugs, entering the violent world of crime that threatens their innocence and safety.
The rage and loneliness of adolescence take a pulpy turn in Claudio Giovannesi’s gripping drama, where schoolbooks are swapped for guns. With his angelic face, first-time actor Francesco Di Napoli stands for a generation of Neapolitan youth for whom coming of age constitutes a fall from grace.
