The story of Padre Pio (1887-1968) from the onset of the stigmata during World War I, when he prayed that soldiers' suffering be his, until his death. The story is told by Emilia, Pio's friend, to a Vatican official reviewing Padre Pio's potential canonization. We watch local people venerate the humble Capuchin monk, we see petty jealousies within the Church almost bring him down, and we experience his decision to build a Home for the Relief of Suffering, a labor of love begun just after World War II. Emilia and her husband Dr. Sanguineti work tirelessly beside the humble but sensible Pio.

Overview:

Giancarlo, a young Neapolitan animated by a great passion for journalism, is called as a correspondent in Torre Annunziata for the newspaper IL MATTINO.

The film reconstructs the last days of the life of the Neapolitan journalist Giancarlo Siani, killed by the Camorra in September 1985. It does so with the participation that a friend like Fiume had of Siani and with the courage to face a narrative that is absolutely different from the one of the debut film "Isolde".

Overview:

The story of the friendship between Ioan and Michele respectively Romanian and Italian. The serendipitous encounter of two worlds apart: the travails of a young man, son of the Post-Communist Revolution, who flees his country in search of a better future and the travails of another youth who instead scrapes along the margins of a Western society that is unable to offer gainful employment to so much of its youth. In the background of this rapport between a simple Romanian youth and his marginalized Italian counterpart, there is a West which on one side is still reeling from the collapse of the Communist ideology and on the other, in the clutches of a Capitalist myth which has increasingly assumed, as it propulsive force, harsh competitiveness and an intensification of social inequality.

Overview:

"A Magic Mirror" is the least 'sexy' of the tales and deals with a family triangle of 2 brothers (one a conceited jerk and one a 'nice guy'), the 'jerk's' wife, and a little relationship 'karma'. "Julia" is the longest segment - it follows the convoluted sensual life of an attractive young woman that ultimately reveals her multifaceted sexual persona - very 'arty' and erotic! "I Am the Way You Want Me' is a bit of an erotic soliloquy featuring a somewhat masochistic woman lolling about on a bathroom floor carrying out some of her (absent) lover's kinky instructions.
