Ostia

In the gritty underbelly of Ostia, two anarchistic brothers eke out a meager existence, their Catholic upbringing simmering just below the surface like a volatile brew. When a young girl flees her home to escape the horrors of her father's abuse, they take her in with a solidarity born of desperation and need. But as allegiances are tested and love is torn apart, only one brother will emerge unscathed from their tumultuous bond. This haunting drama from Sergio Citti's directorial debut is a stark portrayal of the harsh realities of life in the margins of Italian society.
