Burning Hearts

Pippo Mezzapesa

Compétition Sang Neuf

Burnt by the sun and by hatred, the promontory of Gargano, in Apulia, is contested by criminals who seem to come from an ancient land, not so different from the far west, where only blood can wash out blood. An old feud between two rival families is rekindled by a forbidden love: the one between Andrea, reluctant heir of the Malatesta, and Marilena, beautiful wife of the boss of the Camporeale clan. A fatal passion that sets the two clans at war again.
