Tano Guarrasi, an undercover butcher from Palermo and a prominent Mafia capo, is murdered. This true story inspired Roberta Torre's first film, a musical that depicts Guarrasi's days in the organized crime in addition to his family relationships. A provocative radiography of the guts of Sicily, subversive and hilarious in its social vision, charismatic and suggestive in its chromatic composition: an authentic exponent of the postmodern musical.
