Poison: Faint

The sanctuary where Cosimo (Gallo) goes on a bus trip and where he feels bad is the Sanctuary of Montevergine on the SS374 Dir in Mercogliano, near Avellino. The Sanctuary is known as one of Italy’s six territorial abbeys, and is a destination for tourists who come to worship Mary each year. An imposing corner staircase leads to the entrance of the complex, which has two churches: the Old Basilica and the more recent Cathedral Basilica.

Plot:
In a small town in the Caserta area, a farming family lives the drama of a violated territory, contaminated by the poisons that unscrupulous criminals have spread across much of that province, through the pain of the illness of Cosimo, the head of the family, and the multiple conflicts that his illness unleashes. A brutal struggle, between looming death and a fierce and desperate survival instinct that animates his closest family members and an entire country, forced to come to terms with the fear of a Mafia power that corrupts and destroys, producing, as a further effect, the widespread disintegration of a community.
In 2018 the film received two nomination at the Silver Ribbons Awards (Best Actress and Best Original Song)
