Ti mangio il cuore

The Malatesta and Camporeale families have been contending for decades for control of the Gargano promontory area: Michele Malatesta (Tommaso Ragno) and Santo Camporeale, a fugitive, are the two respective heads of families, whose disagreements seem to have subsided after a bloody settlement of accounts and thanks also to the diplomatic interventions of a third local family, the Montanari, led by Vincenzo (Michele Placido) and his son Potito (Brenno Placido).

However, the ancient contrasts are destined to rekindle when Andrea (Francesco Patanè), son of Michele, and Marilena (Elodie), wife of Santo, start dating by maintaining a first clandestine relationship, then known to all, generating a violent and uncontrolled whirlwind of violence.
