Movie spotlight
E Io ti seguo
Giancarlo, a young Neapolitan animated by a great passion for journalism, is called as a correspondent in Torre Annunziata for the newspaper IL MATTINO. He begins to investigate the underworld and despite the difficulties he doesn't give up. His intuitions take him so far that the clan leader Gionta considers him too uncomfortable a character. The film reconstructs the last days of the life of the Neapolitan journalist Giancarlo Siani, killed by the Camorra in September 1985. It does so with the participation that a friend like Fiume had of Siani and with the courage to face a narrative that is absolutely different from the one of the debut film "Isolde".
