quotWhat am I doing herequot by Domenico Iannacone in East

"What am I doing here" by Domenico Iannacone in East Rome in the episode L’Amore perduto RomaToday

The title “L’amore perduto” is the sequel to “What am I doing here?”, which will be broadcast on April 23rd. A portrait of a world of misery, emotional deprivation, criminal upbringing, a reality where the protagonists are always vacillating between damnation and rebirth.

A few years later, Domenico Iannacone returns to the eastern outskirts of Rome and meets Mirko Frezza, a man with a turbulent past who is now an actor with his local club. In an area marked by poverty and precariousness, where the damp-soaked houses are crumbling and the end of the month is unknown, the fate of Mirko crosses that of Nicola, a 45-year-old man who has spent 27 years in prison . Domenico Iannacone reunites the threads of their meeting and traces the extreme existence of this Puglian boy who, at the age of 12, is forced to kill his mother in revenge. An incredible human story of abandonment, loneliness, exclusion.


“Lost Love,” reads one note, helps us understand how being born into the “wrong” family can sometimes mean having little, if any, choice. What I’m doing here is the program directed by Domenico Iannacone and produced by Gregorio Paolinis Hangar TV that airs every Saturday from 21:45 on Rai3.
