Paolo Serra

Naples, 18th century. Salvatore "Totò" Sapore, an unemployed minstrel, always manages to cheer up the hungry with his songs about good food, always upsetting Vesuvia, a magma witch who lives inside the Vesuvius.

Shot on Sony Betacam DVW-700P, it was the first Italian "micro budget" movie filmed in digital video.

Giacomo is a former football player in a small town with a big lake, reader of detective stories. His meeting with Sara, suspect in the murder of her husband, a wealthy property owner, suddenly changes his life to commit murder, to madness.

When the most important friend in her life seems to have disappeared without a trace, Elena Greco, a now-elderly woman immersed in a house full of books, turns on her computer and starts writing the story of their friendship.
