Synopsis

An office worker who pretended to be blind risks losing his job, a company of experts in concealing compromising tax documents, a charlatan who claims to be a medium to take possession of a house, a doorman who makes ends meet by keeping watch for an illegal gambling den in the building, bricks being sold as cameras… Over the course of ten episodes, this film launches itself into a colourful exploration of the art of scamming people in the bustling city of Naples. Nanni Loy ends his brilliant cinematographic career with an engaging and confident mosaic: instead of frowning moralistic preaching, he prefers lightning-quick jabs and laughter that sometimes turns bittersweet. Who knows if Darwin’s “survival of the fittest” also applies here.

The triumph of the art of getting by in the alleyways of Naples, a wild ride of a film that stages a never-ending game of deceptions and cons between swindlers and the swindled.
