Vito e gli altri / Vito and the Others. 1991. DVD.

IT. Durante una notte di Capodanno un uomo improvvisamente impazzito senza nessuna ragione massacra la sua famiglia uccidendo la moglie e uno dei suoi due figli e risparmiando l'altro, il dodicenne Vito, che viene affidato ad una zia e al marito di questa, un fabbricante di fuochi d'artificio. Per tirare avanti la zia è costretta a spacciare droga servendosi della propria figlia e di Vito, che viene lasciato crescere senza alcuna guida. Vito vive nella strada cominciando la sua personale discesa nella degradazione morale e sociale: furti, scippi, spaccio di droga, rapine, prostituzione. Comincia a frequentare le carceri dove affina il suo carattere criminale confrontandosi con i suoi compagni di pena che stanno compiendo lo stesso suo percorso che lo porterà a diventare sicario della camorra.
EN.  Vito and the Others is the groundbreaking film which drew international attention to the problem of neglected youth and street crime in poverty-stricken Naples. The film's opening moments are startling and deeply disturbing. A despairing Rosario has just murdered his wife and daughter at the dinner table on New Year's Eve. Somehow, Vito quietly convinces his father to drop the gun, spare their lives and call the police. Placed in the custody of sexually abusive relatives, Vito is left free to roam the trash-strewn back streets of Naples where he and his friends engage in drug abuse, prostitution and petty crime. Ably acted by a large cast of nonprofessional street kids, VITO AND THE OTHERS is a heartrending portrait of innocents without a future.
