Synopsis
Boys Cry (La terra dell'abbastanza, 2018) is an Italian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by twin brothers Damiano and Fabio D'Innocenzo. Mirko and Manolo are teenagers from Rome's periphery — odd jobs, single parents, no real future in sight. One night, a hit-and-run accident sets everything in motion.
The man they killed turns out to have been a mob informant. Local bosses see potential in the two witnesses and offer them protection, money, and respect — things neither has ever had. Andrea Carpenzano and Matteo Olivetti play the pair without any romantic glow; the D'Innocenzo brothers frame the boys' slide into criminality as a series of small, almost logical decisions that add up to something irreversible. No gunfights, no glamour.
The film premiered at the 2018 Berlin International Film Festival and announced the D'Innocenzo brothers as a new force in Italian cinema. It's a quiet, precise study of what happens when escape from poverty comes gift-wrapped in the worst possible terms. Watch Boys Cry online on iFILM.
