The Bone Breakers

Vincenzo Pirrotta

Compétition

Inside an old warehouse on the outskirts of Palermo, a group of people crush a man’s arm with a trolley full of gym weights. This is the modus operandi of an improvised criminal organization that, after mutilating the limbs of consenting victims, simulates fake accidents to collect large insurance prices, of which only a small part goes to the victims. Vincenzo recruits them from the miserable people who live in the streets of the city, the same streets on which Luisa, a frail 25-years-old girl, lives. She will eventually find shelter with him…
