The Camorra has ruled the city of Naples for centuries. It has become ingrained in people's lives and is still tolerated by a large part of the population as a natural fact of life. In a kaleidoscopic montage of images and text, the film traces the fatalistic triangle of organized crime, poor education, and deep religiosity in a city that has become synonymous with corruption, unemployment, and poverty in Italy. The essayistic narrative style penetrates the confines of the space and makes the archaic power structure of the city palpable by almost entirely dispensing with interviews and concrete facts.
