Mondocane
Directed by Alessandro Celli
Produced by Groenlandia, RAI
A grim near-future portrait of two orphaned children navigating gang violence and poverty in a walled-off Italian city, driven by survival and the bonds between them.
In the near future, the southern Italian city of Taranto is surrounded by barbed wire that no one, not even the police, dares to cross. The poorest are left fighting for survival, while gangs compete for the territory. Two thirteen-year-old orphans who grew up together, dream of joining one of the gangs.
