CINDERELLA THE CAT – GATTA CENERENTOLA

A dystopian Naples fallen into decay was once the domain of a visionary scientist who foresaw the city’s future as a science hub. But he died, and his daughter Mia was reduced to servitude by her stepmother. Fifteen years on, she’s coveted by a scheming crooner-gangster with political ambitions to turn Naples into a money-laundering haven. Her father’s former assistant tries to help her escape.

Cinderella unfolds on a huge ship at the port of Naples, where ghostly holograms and floating memories reveal secrets from the past. A fairy tale revisited into a cynical thriller, it takes a few stabs at contemporary Italian corruption and a certain cruise-ship singer who became a politician.
