The Ciambra
Directed by Jonas Carpignano
Produced by Haut et Court, DCM Pictures
A gritty coming-of-age drama following a Romani teenager's rapid disillusionment as he pursues street credibility in a marginalized community, anchored by intimate family bonds amid systemic hardship.
Pio Amato, a 14 year-old member of a small Romani community in southern Italian town of Gioia Tauro in Calabria, is in a hurry to grow up. Pio follows his older brother Cosimo everywhere and from him he learns how to hustle and how to navigate the streets of his hometown. One night Pio sets out to prove to his brother that he is as good or better than him but, when things go wrong, a series of events will forever change the way he sees the world.
