Parthenope

The life of Parthenope, from her birth in the 1950s to the present day. A feminine epic devoid of heroism but filled with freedom, love, and an unbreakable bond with Naples. True loves, unspoken passions, and fleeting affairs that bring both pain and the will to start again. A perfect summer in Capri, where youth revels in its carefree days despite a horizon with no clear future.

Around Parthenope, the Neapolitans observed, loved, disillusioned, yet full of life are followed through their melancholic wanderings, tragic ironies, and moments of despair. Life can be long, memorable, or ordinary. As time passes, it offers the full spectrum of emotions. And there, always present yet elusive, is the enigmatic city of Naples bewitching, enchanting, screaming, laughing, and sometimes hurting.
