Bari, 1956. At the dawn of the economic boom, twenty-six year old Franco Percoco, from an ordinary petit-bourgeois family, committed the first family massacre in the history of Italy in the 20th century, and was dubbed 'The Monster of Bari'. A crime that has shocked public opinion and has been deliberately forgotten for years. The psychological noir movie is focused on the ten days immediately following the crime: those 'happy and damned days' in which Franco Percoco manages to turn out to be the 'good boy' he has always been, finally free to enjoy himself without his parents. Just as the facts tell us. Inspired by the novel 'Percoco' by Marcello Introna (published by Mondadori Libri)
