Om denne film

Power, Money and Blood, these are the 'values' that the residents of Italy's Campania region confront daily. They have little choice but to obey the mafia-enforced rules of the 'System', the Camorra. GOMORRAH recounts five true stories - the accountant; the tailor; the new blood; the apprentice, and the hotheads - that detail the intricate control the Camorra have over day-to-day life in Southern Italy. Don Ciro pays the families of jailed clan-members. But when the clan begins to crumble, he doesn't know where to turn... A talented tailor, Pasquale works under-the-table for the haute couture industry. When Chinese competitors woo him to moonlight for them, his employers won't be happy... Toto can't wait to grow up. So he begins his training in the "school of life", until one day he must make a decision - one he can never, ever change. University graduate Roberto is offered steady employment and a good wage in 'toxic waste management'. But is the reality too much for his conscience? Marco and Ciro think life is a Brian de Palma film, but their bravado is disturbing the orderly routine of business... 2008 © Fandango Srl.
