LORO DI NAPOLI

69 minutes, 2015
Réalisation : Pierfrancesco LI DONNI (Italie)
Production : Own Air (Italie), Minollo Film (Italie)

In Naples the football team Afro Napoli United have moved up into the national league, a dream for its players – mostly immigrants from the Ivory Coast, Cape Verde, Senegal and Brazil. But none of them has a residence permit. Maxim came from a country at war. Adam, who dropped out of school, is goalkeeper and bartender. Lello, stateless, left a son behind. They struggle through the morass of Italian immigration laws, helped by their coach, Antonio.
