Blood Brothers (I Guappi)
IN THE MOUTH THE HONEY TO SWEETEN WRONGS, IN THE HAND THE RAZOR TO AVENGE OFFENCES
Overview
Set in Naples at the end of the 19th century, I Guappi tells the story of a strange friendship between the powerful and charismatic Camorra boss, Don Gaetano (Fabio Testi), and one of the many scugnizzi who grew up on the streets, Nicola Bellizzi (Franco Nero). Nicola, thanks to Don Gaetano's protection, becomes first an honoured picciotto of the Camorra and then a lawyer. He tries to break away from his 'family', but falls back into a life of crime and violence.
