If only the Chinese hadn’t started producing mozzarella in Campania, the home of Italian Mozzarella, then Don Ciccio – the King of Mozzarella, Mr. Buffalo Cheese himself – would have continued producing and selling, selling and producing, and, of course, paying kickbacks to the local camorra. But the Chinese have flooded supermarkets and restaurants with their first-rate and, more importantly, half-price cheese. Bankruptcy looms, as well as the camorra. Ciccio needs money, and getting it triggers a series of events that affect everyone around him.

Director Edoardo De Angelis’ first full-length feature film takes a light-hearted look at Caserta, in Italy’s Campania region, telling a story about music and women, mozzarella and camorra. It explores a world full of irony, blending elements from action movies and Italian comedies while literately resonating with influences from Tarantino and Almodóvar, starring among others Aida Turturro (The Sopranos).
