Executive producer Martin Scorsese presents the electrifying sophomore feature from rising director Jonas Carpignano ( Mediterranea). 14-year-old Pio (Pio Amato) wants nothing more than the respect of his older brother, whom he emulates in every way—including his career as a petty criminal. When both his father and brother are arrested, Pio is determined to prove that he can step up and be the head of his sprawling Romani family. But a fateful night and a wrenching decision soon test just how ready he is. Steeped in the complex social fabric of Southern Italy—where Italians, Romani, and African migrants coexist in uneasy tension— A Ciambra is a bracing plunge into a world in which growing up fast is a matter of survival. A Ciambra (2017) In A CIAMBRA, a small Romani community in Calabria, Pio Amato is desperate to grow up fast. At 14, he drinks, smokes and is one of the few to easily slide between the region's factions. ![]() ![]() ![]() More A Ciambra [2018] images.
