Synopsis
In Le Salicelle, a rundown Naples suburb, the only future for many youngsters is as a stooge for organized crime. Each day, Father Don Ciro risks his life in order to support the youngsters and keep them away from the false temptations of the Camorra. Luca and Toni (both 18) are sassy, politicizing rappers, struggling to improve their neighborhood. Their songs represent the voice of the local residents, who have been left to their poverty. Tina and Manuela are 13 years old. They don't enjoy attending school. Like many Salicelle children, they dream of becoming dance teachers or singers. But they don't like book learning. They want to hang out on the street all day with their friends.Giovanni (37) has already spent 18 years in jail. He wants to change his life. Don Ciro is his parole officer. It is difficult for kids in this neighborhood to commit themselves to a proper career. Facing poverty as an alternative, the temptation is very great.
