(2022, Italy, 117')

The so-called fourth mafia, established in the Gargano region in southern Italy, is little known, but very dangerous. Two families, the Malatestas and the Camporeales, have been fighting a turf war for a long time. Their feud fires up when Andrea Malatesta and Marilena, the wife of the Camporeale boss, fall in love, a forbidden, impossible love that will mean war.
