Scena del Crimine

Scena del Crimine is a frame narrative in seven "scenes" that begins and ends on the prison island of Nisida. In between, we see five views of the city that have been determined by the underworld. We hear the sad story of a grandmother about her murdered grandson. At the forensic department of the police, detective Baiano tells how his former classmates fell prey to the mafia one by one. At the military academy, they aspire to counterbalance the chaos of the city with forced efforts. We see how petty thief Mauro, confined to his home under house arrest, is going out of his mind with boredom while looking down longingly at the lively streets of Naples.
