Based on a true story and Antonio Zagari's autobiographical novel, this gripping crime drama unveils the inner workings of Italy's most powerful mafia through the eyes of a reluctant hitman. World premiere at the 2025 Venice International Film Festival.
While the Calabrian mafia is spreading its influence in the early 70s, Antonio, son of the high-ranking 'Ndrangheta boss Giacomo Zagari, finds himself killing more and more frequently, ultimately realising that he isn't suited to this extreme lifestyle. While his generation rises up in factories, universities and public squares, Antonio finds the the strength to defy his father, rejecting his legacy.
