In “A Ciambra”, a small Romani community in Calabria, Pio Amato is desperate to grow up fast. At 14, he drinks, smokes and is one of the few to easily slide between the region’s factions. Pio follows his older brother Cosimo everywhere, learning the necessary skills for life on the streets of their hometown. A Ciambra premiered at the latest Director’s Fortnight in Cannes.
