This furiously paced drama illuminates the intricacies of the criminal underworld in contemporary Calabria from the perspective of fifteen year old Chiara. As she searches for the truth about her missing father, she’s caught between the sticky, sometimes lethal ties of blood and the impersonal, coldly rational benevolence of the state. This poetically, humanistically crafted drama challenges the mythology that keeps shadowy systems of gender and power in control of southern Italy and the world at large.
