The Kingdom
Coming-of-age elements mix with crime drama as a teenager is plunged into the world of the mafia after she is forced to go on the run with her fugitive father. It’s 1995, and 15-year-old Leela (impressive newcomer Ghjuvanna Benedetti) finds her carefree summer shattered after she is bundled off to the house where her Corsican mob boss dad (Saveriu Santucci) is hiding out. She has previously been shielded from her father’s violent world, but with a mafia war brewing she finds herself on the run. Julien Colonna's pacy and authentic crime drama is cut through with the coming-of-age experiences of Leela as she begins to see the dark underworld of her father’s life more clearly. Colonna raises the question of the cycle of violence - and whether it is possible to escape it.
