Gomorrah

About the movie

Power, money and blood: these are the "values" that the residents of the Province of Naples and Caserta, have to face every day. They hardly ever have a choice, and are almost always forced to obey the rules of the "system", the Camorra. 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 apparently imaginary world, but one which is deeply rooted in reality.
Gomorrah is a dive into the heart of the Neapolitan underworld directed by Matteo Garrone. We look in on a few days in the life of those who dwell in a world devoid of mercy. As clan wars rage over various illicit business operations, Gomorrah traces the interlocking destinies of several characters trapped in the infernal web of the Camorra. Adapted from Roberto Saviano's bestseller. Winner of the Grand Prize at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival, and five European Film Awards 2008. Golden Globe nominated.
