A journey into the largest and oldest transgender community in Europe — that of Naples — told through the voices of six femmenelle, suspended between centuries-old rituals and contemporary tensions.

The protagonists of Ciro Scuotto's latest film are representatives of a large community, who together demand adequate legislation, the right to express their sexual orientation, and the desire for a private life in the open. "Napoli in Trans" focuses on the city that hosts a large transgender community, which wants to feel free of its personal and sexual identity. The work, co-produced by Spaccanapoli Online and Dropper Lab, with executive production by the VisionArea collective, stands out for its great ambition: it is provocative, but in a sincere and delicate way, chosen by the young Neapolitan director to approach a topic that is painfully subject to discrimination and ridicule from the public.
