Gomorra

Gomorra

Campania. La piaga della Camorra sembra travolgere ogni cosa, ogni persona, nei paesi più poveri, dove il territorio è spartito tra i clan al prezzo di vite spezzate da chi non da loro alcun valore. Senza distinzione d'età, tutti diventano vittime e carnefici del Sistema: i bambini che si arruolano nell'esercito dei clan, i giovani che sognano la scalata al potere, le mogli dei boss costrette in casa, gli anziani "sottomarini" che consegnano il denaro alle famiglie dei camorristi finiti in carcere. Potere, soldi e sangue macchiano in maniera indelebile questa Gomorra, la speranza s'è persa altrove.
