A man with a troubled past who returns to his home town

Rione Sanita, Naples. Present day. 50-something businessman Felice Lasco (Favino) returns from the Middle East to visit his ageing mother (Aurora Quattrocchi). Wandering the streets, Felice rediscovers the city, its codes and rituals, and memories that still haunt him. Despite local priest Don Luigis (Francesco Di Leva) advice to leave his past behind, he seeks out his boyhood friend Oreste (Happy as Lazzaro's Tommaso Ragno), now a feared local mobster Beautifully shot and superbly realised, NOSTALGIA gradually and subtly reveals itself as the parable of a man and a city teetering between redemption and damnation. Vibrantly capturing the pulsing heart of southern Italys biggest city, its a deeply felt exploration of the complexity of homecoming.
