The Camorra is on its knees and the credit goes to Gomorroide, an unexpectedly successful television series that mocks the ruthless criminal organization. Thanks to the TV series, people are less afraid of bosses and the underworld and have found the courage to rebel against abuses. The three main actors are real stars but one day the television station receives an envelope with three bullets addressed to them. However, no one takes the intimidation seriously, at least until a series of events and misunderstandings force the trio to enter a protection program that will toss them up and down Italy. Unjustly accused, the Camorra will not stand by and watch.
Acting
The trio playing themselves playing mobsters playing victims — layers, darling.
Writing
Satire so sharp the real Camorra allegedly weren't amused. Allegedly.
Production
Gritty Naples locations that look suspiciously like the show they're mocking.

Director
Francesco De Fraia
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Directly riffs on Roberto Saviano's Gomorra, the hyper-real crime saga that made the actual Camorra internationally famous. The real series had cast members with genuine mafia ties and one was later murdered.
The three directors also play the three leads, blurring autobiography with the film's meta-premise about actors becoming their roles. The bullets-in-envelope plot mirrors real threats Italian journalists and artists have faced.
