Shakespeare’s Othello does not need to be retold. It only needs to be reread exactly as it was written, with only the power of dialect to bring it back to the present. Iago, Othello, Desdemona are unfortunately still among us. The chronicle through a great classic. Set in the early 2000s, a timeless story in which good and evil mingle in a maelstrom of deceit, betrayal and mad jealousy.

Vera is an undercover police officer. Her personality is strong and appears impermeable, toughened by her occupational hazards and marked by a painful family history. She is tasked with infiltrating an international gang of robbers, and discovers that among them is her younger brother Bruno, from whom she’s been estranged for some time. Bruno has just been released from prison, he’s broke and wants to partake in the heist to start anew with his daughter Marta.

After years apart, Vera and Bruno will find each other face-to-face, in opposite roles and obliged to keep the secret that bonds them: old wounds will resurface, and the pair will have to make some choices that will seriously jeopardize their goals.

July 3, 1983, Rione Incis, Ponticelli, Naples. The bodies of Barbara Sellini and Nunzia Munizzi, age 7 and 10, are found in the bed of the Pollena creek. They are placed on top of each other, semi-charred, covered with stab wounds. An autopsy will reveal attempted sexual abuse and violence. “The Ponticelli Massacre” leaves an indelible mark, even in a community that used to count the dead from the fierce Camorra war going on in those years. For almost two months, newspapers and TV have been talking about nothing else. Who could have carried out such a horror?

Although at first the investigation focused on a convicted felon who seemed the perfect culprit, on September 4, 1983, three incensed young men, between 18 and 20 years old, Ciro Imperante, Giuseppe La Rocca, and Luigi Schiavo, were arrested by surprise. The trial delayed and after three years, between Poggioreale and forced stays, came the conviction, which was upheld in the Court of Appeals and Cassation. Life imprisonment, no end of punishment – reads the sentence. A sentence that is the consequence of a series of testimonies and confessions over which the long shadow of doubt extends due to alleged violence perpetrated during interrogations and a possible role played by the Camorra.
Since 2015, Ciro, Luigi and Giuseppe have been free men, having spent more than 27 years in prison together, in the same cell, professing innocence every day. In summer 2022, after three rejected requests for review, the Anti-Mafia Commission voted unanimously to investigate Camorra infiltration that allegedly polluted the investigation.

Today, the three are waiting for a new commission to proceed with the hearing of key witnesses and the much hoped-for review of the trial. What if who killed the two girls is still out there? What if Ciro, Giuseppe and Luigi were really victims of one of the greatest court mistakes in our country’s history? Nearly forty years after the massacre, the case is back in the spotlight involving even the government. The three accused return to talk about their story in this four-episode docu-series. Today, Giuseppe, Ciro and Luigi continue their battle to have the trial reviewed, as they wait for a new Parliamentary Commission to proceed with the hearing of key witnesses.
