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 leading a "normal" life.
Five stories woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly invented world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality. Based on the controversial, bestselling novel of the same name and winner of the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival 2008.
