Into Paradiso
Synopsis
Alfonso is a Neapolitan scientist, shy, awkward and unemployed. Gayan is a former Sri Lankan cricket champion who is penniless, just arrived in Naples and convinced he will find Paradise. Vincenzo is a rising politician thanks also to recommendations, but things do not go as he would have hoped. In a multi-ethnic Naples, the destinies of these three characters intertwine, who find themselves sharing a shack built illegally on the roof of a building. This paradoxical situation will give rise to a hilarious cohabitation between the three and a partnership that will make them find the courage to face their own destiny, changing it forever.
