Questi fantasmi! poster
7.1

Pasquale Lojacono moves into a large flat with his wife Maria following a special agreement with the owner: in exchange for free accommodation, Pasquale must dispel rumours that the house is haunted by ghosts. The protagonist begins to receive regular sums of money from spirits who, according to him, are particularly generous and supportive towards him. As time goes by, however, it turns out that the source of his fortune is a ghost who, having become Maria's lover, wants to silence him and plan an escape with her. Added to this unusual love triangle are the doorman, his sister and the lover's family, each of whom, in their own way, exploits the rumours of ghosts for their own gain under the gaze of Professor Santanna, who observes and comments on the inexplicable events with Pasquale from the window of the flat opposite.

La salita poster
9.0

There’s a Naples of the imagination and there’s the real city: the city of fiction and the one with its tales of a past very much alive. Massimilano Gallo’s directorial debut, La salita, is a film about a little-known anecdote from the life of Eduardo De Filippo, featuring a Nisida very different from the image it has in the series Mare fuori, yet Gallo’s take on prison and women behind bars is just as contemporary.

Ottavio Camaldoli is a professor of Latin and Greek. An honest and gentleman, he is considered a "fool" by everyone around him. But what would happen if this defenseless man, a victim of petty daily abuses in his social life, at work, and even at home, were to receive another man's heart transplant? Especially if this other man, the donor, were a brutal criminal with the sinister nickname of "O Barbiere" (The Barber)? Would Ottavio Camaldoli, after inheriting the heart, automatically become a criminal? Science tells us that these are just silly, ancient beliefs. But what if Donna Carmela, the Barber's ruthless mother, were convinced that her son is still alive thanks to the heart now beating in the professor's chest?
