DECEMBER SCREENINGS: Focus on Italian Documentary
- Hide and Seek
- The lost world of Vittorio De Seta
Entoni is 10 years old and lives every day as if it were his last. That’s the way it’s been done for generations in his family, and that’s the way they roll in the Spanish quarter, one of Naples’ toughest neighbourhoods, where he lives. He hangs out on the street every day with his best friend Dylan, riding scooters, setting things on fire and picking up girls. Meanwhile, his grandmother Dora watches her grandson with concern: A former mafiosa herself, she fears he is doomed to follow in the family’s footsteps, especially as Entoni father is already in prison. With a new Italian law dictating the forcible removal of children if they or their parents are part of organised crime, fear looms large. Victoria Fiore’s ultra stylish debut follows Entoni and his family over four years. Can the family’s youngest son break the dark legacy?
