THE PREMISE
Gomorrah – The Origins is set in 1977‘s Naples. Pietro is a tough city kid who grew up in the poorest parts of Secondigliano. He and his friends survive anyway they can, riding their mopeds around town and committing petty theft. But he has a big dream: to become like Angelo ‘A Sirena, the neighbourhood’s “king.” When he manages to get in the graces of the young boss, he finds himself caught in a power game far beyond him. He ends up wondering whether this dark, violent criminal life is really what he wants or if his love for Imma can save him from such a fate.
