The Sea Beyond
Created by Cristiana Farina
A character-driven drama set in a Neapolitan juvenile prison that balances the darkness of organized crime and incarceration with genuine hope for self-understanding and redemption.
Naples. Still an organized crime stronghold. For the inmates at the Juvenile Detention Centre, time and space are interrupted. Taken away from their families and friends, they now have the opportunity to understand who they have been, who they are, who they want to be.
