Four stories of women and men at a turning point in their lives, set in a Naples without folklore or rhetoric, where love and life have sharp teeth: drug couriers and elegant art galleries, clandestine print shops, the end of cigarette smuggling and the boom in cocaine, extended families and new singles, teenagers with parents in prison and mothers who have to manage alone, and young graduates trying to tear themselves away from the stifling outskirts.
