Giovanna works as a social worker in a run-down Neapolitan neighborhood. When events overtake her, she struggles to persuade the community that her policy to help every needy kid should extend to the daughter of a Camorra killer. It’s a moral dilemma with consequences that extend far beyond the wellbeing of a little girl - it could destroy everything that Giovanna has worked to create.

Leonardo Di Costanzo's second feature is a tale of conflict and danger set in present day Naples.
