Synopsis

Based on the best selling book by Roberto Saviano; GOMORRAH is a story of power, money and blood. These are the "values" that the residents of the province of Naples and Caserta confront every day; they have practically no choice, and are forced to obey the rules of the "System" - the Gomorra. Only a lucky few can even think of leading a "normal" life.

Five stories are woven together in this violent scenario, set in a cruel and ostensibly invented world, but one that is deeply rooted in reality.
