Early 2000s, “Somewhere in Sicily”. Matteo (Germano), a fugitive mafiaoso in hiding, begins a curious correspondence with a former acquaintance of his father’s, his godfather Catello Palumbo (Toni Servillo), a corrupt politician fresh off a prison sentence. Their letters find the two men quickly re-forming their friendship, but this bond is complicated by the fact that Catello is not-so-secretly helping the police to locate and capture Matteo, plus Catello has his own agenda, one that involves significant risk: it’s a game of cat and mouse with one of the most wanted criminals in the world.
