Synopsis:

In the lively and absorbing fifth installment in a series of docs celebrating his native Naples, Marra turns a spotlight on the life of Umberto Montella, a building administrator whose job seems to demand skills in management as much as in therapy. An effortless arbiter of the passionate conflicts that arise among tenants, the quixotic Montella leads us in and out of the homes of his larger-than-life clients, rich and poor Neapolitans whose lives illuminate the city's volatile moods. Sometimes funny and always poignant, these profoundly human stories flow in and out of one another following a natural rhythm. However specific the tales, characters, and places, the immersion into these entangled lives is also a tough-minded yet affectionate look at an Italy mired in crisis.

Umberto Montella, administrator of a number of buildings in Naples, spends his days working in his office with his family, addressing meetings, gatherings, and everyday problems at a small or large scale. His heterogeneous clientele tells the story of Italy in our time. The administrator is a 'Charon' who ferries us into the different essences of the city, in the apartments of the rich and poor, where the conflict with one's own neighbor often becomes a way to vent steam, to help scrape by.
