Written by the director together with Bruno Oliviero and Francesco Di Leva, Nottefonda tells the story of Ciro, a man in disarray following the death of his wife. He wants to find whoever ran her over and killed her on the road at night. Every night. In this quest he has lost himself, any sense of time and the possibility of leading a normal life with his son Luigi, aged 13, a boy forced to grow up quickly to keep his father from descending into hell. Also in the cast are Adriano Pantaleo (Mixed By Erry [+lire aussi :

Nottefonda was born from the experience and the encounter between  Francesco Di Leva and Giuseppe Miale Di Mauro, who are among the founders of NEST, the San Giovanni theatre in Teduccio born ten years ago in the old gym of an abandoned school, in one of the most difficult neighbourhoods on the outskirts of Naples, thanks to the efforts of a group of Neapolitan artists and technicians who have given life to a cultural and social operation aimed largely at young people. A reality central to Naples-based production company Mad Entertainment who is producing the film with Rai Cinema in collaboration with Leocadia, with producers Maria Carolina Terzi, Luciano Stella, and Carlo and Lorenza Stella.
