The whole soul of the city of Naples is told through 6 short stories featuring its inhabitants, streets and monuments. The incredible photography superbly highlights all aspects of this very special city. In this film, people eat and laugh a lot, talk loudly, play, lie, love, but also cry... Tragedy and death are an integral part of the landscape, like the Vesuvio, both beautiful and threatening. Sometimes funny, sometimes sad, the film is always very fine and accurate in its description of the human soul and all the feelings it can harbor. There are some pictures and faces you will not forget so soon...
