5 Is the Perfect Number

Peppino Lo Cicero, a former hitman for the Camorra, comes out of retirement after his son is assassinated. This tragic event sets in motion a chain of violent reactions and counter-reactions; it's the spark that ignites Peppino's new life. The film is a Neapolitan take on 1970s Italy. 5 Is the Perfect Number is a tale of friendship, betrayal and revenge, and, at bottom, a story of second chances and rebirth.
