synopsis
The dialogue and content in this film about gangs and their internal turmoil are geared to a young, teenage audience. The setting is Milan, and four brothers from the south of Italy have lined up against the local gang. The southerners are headed by Felice (Diego Abatantuono), the eldest of the brothers, a braggadocio who is overly-protective of his younger sister Giulietta (Simona Mariani) -- but then he has to be, since the brothers and one sister have no father to care for them. Of course, Giulietta has a mind of her own and when she meets the leader of the rival gang, romantic sparks fly. Felice will have none of this heresy, and so a battle of wills begins between brother and sister that may resolve more than just her love life.
