BELOW THE CLOUDS

Shot over three years in luminous black and white, Gianfranco Rossi’s new film unfolds across Naples, a city perched between Vesuvius and the sea, with tremors in the ground, echoes of ancient ruins, and everyday lives steeped in memory and unrest. In shadowed classrooms, makeshift after-school centers; in fire station switchboards, anxious voices; beneath the earth, tomb-robbers, gods, and ghosts. It’s a mosaic of time and history, of ordinary people holding onto meaning under a sky perpetually weighed by clouds.
