Sacred Silence: The Procession

The streets are crowded with faithful in the Fontanelle Cemetery in Via Fontanelle in Naples: and the sacred statues are carried in procession, accompanied by prayers and songs. This scene is characterized by an intense and solemn atmosphere, which reflects the deep devotion of the community.

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.
