'A Muzzarell' (2024)

Daniele, a rebellious and impatient 14-year-old from Castel Volturno and his best friend Lucio, are high on crack for the first time. Daniele is about to loose his ailing grandmother who lives 40 km away in Bagnoli, Campi Flegrei. To fulfill her dying wish - having fresh mozzarella cheese prepared by her son, a buffalo farmer - Daniele embarks on a journey first by motor scooter, then on foot, sided by his crush Martina. Now a drug courier, socially marginalized and constantly high, he bumps into weirdos and feels paranormal experiences. This happens repeatedly, triggering memories of a happy age lost way too soon. Daniele is still unaware that he's fallen into the wolf's den when he naively asks the boss 'O Biondo and his lieutenant El Napolitano for help and money. They coerce him into being a crack mule without giving him the money to address problems that arise along the route. The rivalry between the Casal Di Principe gang and a group of Nigerians, who are trying to take control of the drug market, culminates in an open slaughter among hundreds of young people dedicated to getting high. O'biondo, in agreement with the narcs-trafficker the Cuban, ambushes the Nigerian leader with Daniele's help. The Cuban brings an imposing load and his firing squad, whose full ferocity Daniele and Martina will eventually experience. The journey through extreme events thus simultaneously becomes a path of self-discovery and an escape route. A mysterious woman accompanies him, appearing in different guises and ages, ostensibly guiding him on his journey towards freedom.
