The Code of Silence
A woman (Lina Siciliano) attempts to reconcile the mysteries of her past with the dangers of her present in Francesco Costabile’s gripping and personal solo feature debut.
Q&A with Francesco Costabile on June 11
A woman attempts to reconcile the mysteries of her past with the dangers of her present in Francesco Costabile’s gripping and personal solo feature debut (from a story co-written by Open Roads veteran Edoardo De Angelis). Rosa (Lina Siciliano) has spent all her life in a small Calabrian village, raised there by her grandmother after her mother’s death when she was a child. Now an adult, Rosa grows increasingly curious about the true circumstances of that mysterious event, and seeks to uncover the truth—an act of excavation that leads her to ever-more-concerning epiphanies about the dynamics within her family and its possible ties to the ’Ndrangheta, a notorious Calabrian crime syndicate. An enthralling portrait both of courage and resistance in the face of shadowy, oppressive forces, and of Calabria itself.
