L'intrusa
Leonardo Di Costanzo, France, Italy, Switzerland, 2017o
Naples. Present day. Giovanna, a combative 60-year-old social worker on the frontline of the daily war against pervasive criminality, is confronted, like a modern Antigone, with a moral dilemma that threatens to destroy her work and her life. Giovanna runs an after-school centre that takes care of underprivileged children; a grassroots alternative to the mafia dominance of the city. But one day, young Maria, wife of a ruthless Camorra criminal on the run, and her two children take refuge at the centre, and ask Giovanna for protection.
Der Film funktioniert ohne grosse Worte: Die schnörkellosen Bilder allein berühren einen so tief, dass man nach dem Abspann noch lange sitzen bleibt. Traurig und doch zufrieden, einen guten Film gesehen zu haben.
