Sinopsis
Fiction. Nevia is 17 years old and lives in the suburbs of Naples. She is a stubborn teenager, determined to get from life much more than fate has planned for her, but it’s hard to be a girl in a place where only men can make the rules, and apparently, there are no options but make ends meet with little illegal jobs. Until one day, a circus comes to town, changing everything in Nevia’s life and giving her a new hope…
Born in Naples, Nunzia De Stefano has worked with Matteo Garrone from 2008 to 2018 in the production of Gomorra, Reality, Tales of Tale and Dogman. Nevia, her first feature, has been presented in competition at the 76th Venice International Film festival within the Orizzonti section.
