In the early 1970s, as the Calabrian mafia expands its influence, Antonio – the son of high-ranking 'Ndrangheta boss Giacomo Zagari – finds himself killing more and more frequently, ultimately realizing that he isn't suited to this extreme lifestyle. While his generation rises up in factories, universities, and public squares, Antonio finds the strength to defy his father and reject his legacy.
Based on a true story and Antonio Zagari's autobiographical novel, this gripping crime drama unveils the inner workings of Italy's most powerful mafia through the eyes of a reluctant hitman, while also portraying a generation's struggle for freedom. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival.
