The Mafia Kills Only in the Summer

Merging reality with amusing (on the surface) fiction, famous TV comedian Pif shows a lot of respect to Mob film tradition, while turning it on its head.

"Where classic Italian mafia tradition meets Forrest Gump". Merging reality with amusing (on the surface) fiction, famous TV comedian Pif shows a lot of respect to Mob film tradition, while turning it on its head.

This is a mock-biographical story taking place in a corrupt Palermo that's brimming with crime, love, coincidences and pointed references to real-life political players. Naive Arturo gets involved with the mafia and their opponents, while nursing an unhealthy obsession with Giulio Andreotti. T.Th.
