Napoli Jungle

Three chapters. Three generations. Giggino, a 50-year-old jack of all trades, restaurant poet and small street thief. His father Antonio, a pensioner from Italsider and nostalgic of the old factory days and what they represented. Expert and promulgator of Maradona’s deeds. 80 years old, maybe more. Finally, Marco, an 18-year-old deli shop boy, chasing a future but not knowing how. 18 years old. Around them a jungle of a very populated neighborhood, Bagnoli, in a great city, Naples, where purpose was lost and a new one has not yet been found.

Antonio Capuano is a well of surprises, with this touching off-the-wall piece of direct cinema he re-invents himself after numerous participations in the Venice competition.
