PLOT: Cobra (Piefrancesco Favino), Negro (Filippo Nigro) and Mazinga (Marco Giallini) are three ‘celerini bastardi’. They have experienced firsthand what it means to be targets, living in a world steeped in violence. This violence reflects a society pushed to its limits, a world ruled by hatred and lawlessness, where force is used without hesitation. At a critical juncture in their lives, as their personal struggles reach a peak, they encounter a glimpse of hope in a young recruit, Adriano (Domenico Diele), who has just joined their unit.

THE DIRECTOR: Stefano Sollima is an Italian director and screenwriter. He is best known for directing successful television series and films such as Romanzo criminale - La serie, Gomorra - La serie, Suburra, ACAB - All Cops Are Bastards and Soldado.
