Scena del Crimine plot

'Better the sound of the prison gate than the sound of church bells,' goes a Neapolitan proverb. Better captured than dead. The teenagers imprisoned on the prison island of Nisida off the coast of Naples use it as a wry joke to put their hopeless situation into perspective. They tell about their lives on the other side of the fence, in 'the system', the underworld, the silent conspiracy that rules the streets of their city. "Scena del Crimine" is a frame story in seven scenes that begins and ends on the prison island of Nisida. In between, we see faces of the city determined by the underworld. The documentary creates an oppressive picture of an underworld that is as elusive as it is close by.
