Filmmaking duo Alessandro Cassigoli and Casey Kauffman continue their success in crafting authentic and heartfelt drama from real-life situations with Vittoria. The third of their films to be shot against the working class backdrop of the Neapolitan port city of Torre Annunziata, each film has spawned the next. Coming-of-age docudrama hybrid Californie, centred on Khadija Jaafari, who the pair had met shooting their documentary Butterfly, and it also featured the non-professional star of this film Marilena Amato in a supporting role.
Amato plays Jasmine - in a verite story that both features and is structured around the real experiences of her and her family. A hairdresser with a penchant for leopard print and brassy attitude to life, she also has a busy homelife with her carpenter husband Rino (Gennaro Scarica) and three sons, with the oldest Vincenzo (Vincenzo Scarica) at something of a crossroads as he mulls following his mother into.
