Cinema in Piazza: Up the Boot - The Vice of Hope (Il vizio della speranza)

A compelling drama about the crime-ridden community of Castel Volturno, not far from Naples, and a young woman’s crisis of conscience. Maria (Pina Turco) has worked for years in a gang that traffics in infants, keeping pregnant women in hand until they deliver the goods. But when Maria herself becomes almost miraculously pregnant—it had seemed impossible—she dares for the first time to act out of hope.
