Poisonville

A noir thriller par excellence - there's murder, moral ambiguity and a protagonist who is less than heroic. The heavily industrialised northeast of Italy is undergoing dramatic change. What once drove the nation's economic boom is now fast becoming a wasteland, infested by organised crime and an ongoing environmental catastrophe. Young lawyer Francesco, heir to the region's second-richest family, will have to decide between business as usual or a violent rupture with the ways of the past.
