Tatanka
Directed by Giuseppe Gagliardi
Produced by Margherita Film, Gruppo Minerva International
A gritty crime drama about two childhood friends whose paths diverge—one into organized crime, the other seeking redemption through boxing—set against the oppressive backdrop of Camorra-controlled southern Italy.
Michele and Rosario, childhood friends, grow up in Marcianise, a town in Campania where the laws of the Camorra prevail over those of the state. However, the two men have different destinies: Rosario becomes a crime boss, while Michele, after being arrested for murder and released from prison, discovers the world of boxing thanks to his trainer Sabatino (Giorgio Colangeli). Seeking a definitive change of life and emancipation, Michele moves to Berlin, where he is introduced to the underground boxing circuit.
