After 40 years of absence in Egypt, Felice, now married and Muslim, returns to his hometown Naples to look after his ageing mother. He rediscovers the places, the codes of the city and a past that eats away at him. He decides to work with the local priest Luigi who is helping to prevent young Neapolitans from becoming involved with the Camorra. He tries to reunite with his childhood friend Spasiano who has meantime become the elusive local criminal kingpin. Terrifically shot, fine acting. A bittersweet gangster drama, a love letter to Naples.
