Plot
Storyline
In 1943 Naples, civilians spontaneously fought German invaders for four days using makeshift weapons and firearms. 10-year-old Gennarino Capuozzo died heroically on a barricade during the resistance.
The film shows the history of the Neapolitan popular revolt against the invading Germans during World War II. During the four days in Naples, the revolt turns over in just a few hours. Neapolitans slung on rifles and guns or armed themselves with stones, house-objects, gasoline-bottles, anything and everything, anonymous and silent. Gennarino Capuozzo, a 10-year-old killed on a barricade while he was fighting against the invaders, is remembered as a hero.
