Sacred Silence: The Ministry

One of the most significant locations of the film "Pianese Nunzio, 14 Years in May" is the church where Don Lorenzo, the protagonist played by Fabrizio Bentivoglio, carries out his ministry. The church represents a central place in the plot, where many of the narrative dynamics are intertwined, including the problematic relationships between Don Lorenzo and the young man. The church in question is located in a working-class neighborhood of Naples, which reflects the social reality and daily difficulties of the inhabitants.

PLOT:
From a church in the health district of Naples, Don Lorenzo Borrelli, courageous and enlightened, fights the Camorra with speeches marked by great principles. His parish is attended by Nunzio Pianese, a teenager with whom the priest has a deep and special relationship. Meanwhile, outside, young people steal, deal drugs, and kill. The city, strangled by the Camorra, is hell. The Pianese Nunzio ‘case’ reaches the social workers, who do so much that they force the boy to denounce the priest. Don Lorenzo will be stopped. The director's thesis is that the hero stopped prodigiously and instrumentally, even if the seduction of a thirteen-year-old is not exactly bureaucracy. Director Capuano, who belongs to the ‘south-expressionist’ current, with Martone and Corsicato, directs effectively aided by the tragic and violent soundtrack by Almamegretta.
