About this listen

 In 1930s New York, the Capucci and Carousel families competed for Manhattan territories to control the drug, alcohol, and prostitution trade. Evelina, the wife of boss Santo Capucci, assisted in the illegal accumulation of wealth she took care of, and lived a comfortable life immersed in the power of the local mafia. Until one day, in the dark room of a movie theater, she sees a film that will change her life: "Gone with the Wind." She decides to stop working for her husband in his dirty mafia business because she is tired of living among corpses, blood, and torture. Santo, who doesn't want to lose his wife, tries to win her back with the same means that caused Evelina to ask him for a divorce: cinema. He improvises as an actor and, between shootouts, manages to act in a movie that won't bring things back to how they used to be, but will lead him to understand the power that cinema exerts over people.Copyright Marisa Cecchetti Art Literary History & Criticism
