It's not every day that we find an Italian film without the usual clichés. Albeit containing some elements that could push it that way - Naples, the Camorra, family ties, etc. - the story never falls into the banal. On the contrary, the context seems to enhance the depth of the characters, their unique relationship and their individual complexity. The story's suspense factor, present from beginning to end, envelops the viewer in its atmosphere of unpredictability. Subtle, refined, exquisite in its nuances and surprises, the film unravels slowly but steadily, taking us into the ultimate realm: that of our own emotions.
