ITALIAN DESCRIPTION:
In una palazzina di borgata si agitano le vite di Marcello e Chiara, di Mauro e Simona e del boss di quartiere Carmine. In questo scenario di umanità mutevole perennemente sospesa tra il tragico e il comico si inserisce anche il professor Walter, scrittore di estrazione borghese, il quale ha da tempo una relazione con Marcello, ex culturista dalla sessualità incerta. Mauro, freddo e ambizioso spacciatore, sembra il solo a sentire la necessità di una svolta. I poteri corrotti irrompono in un angolo della periferia. Criminali, affaristi, palazzinari: un lucido affresco della Roma contemporanea.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION:
“Tainted Souls”: The lives of the tenants of a lower-class apartment building in the outskirts intersect on a backdrop of crime, drug dealing, confused feelings and tainted relationships, in a lucid portrait of contemporary Rome. Marcello, a bisexual former body builder married with Chiara, has an affair with the bourgeois professor Walter; the ambitious Mauro and cold-blooded dealer and his wife Simona get involved in the ambiguous business of the local boss Carmine to move up to the elegant and cruel circles of central Rome that profit from the public funds for the disadvantaged; Valeria and her son Attilio, Flaminia and her violent husband Bruno face the daily difficulties of their troubled lives. The corrupted powers of urban speculation invade a suspended corner of the suburbs, contaminating the lives of a group of lost souls, revealing the desperate world of the slum and the pitiless scene of the city center as the hidden face of the same coin.
