Set in 1963 Naples, Hands Over the City is a serious depiction of the corruption, nepotism and social issues of post war reconstruction. Italy in the early 1960s was barely a developed nation. Like most European participants of World War Two, Italy was left devastated by six years of conflict ending in 1945.
Hands Over the City is a fictitious but equally serious investigation of corruption in Naples, centered on the cozy relationship between public officials and a private real estate developer. As soon as men with power consider city projects involving great sums of money, the commitment to serving the public vanishes in the face of self-interest.
