This incredible, shocking journey into the business and criminal world of the Camorra opens and closes in the name of goods, of their life cycle. The "fresh" goods, just born, whic h in the most varied forms - pieces of plastic, designer clothes, video games, watches - arrive at the port of Naples and, to be stored and concealed, pour out of the gigantic containers to invade buildings specially emptied of everything, like disemboweled creatures, deprived of their entrails. And the dead goods that, from all over Italy and half of Europe, in the form of chemical waste, toxic sludge, sludge, even human skeletons, are illegally "dumped" in the Campania countryside, where they poison, among others, the same bosses who build their sumptuous and absurd residences on those lands - Russian dachas, Hollywood villas, cathedrals of cement and precious marbles - which not only serve to certify an achieved power but testify to ranting utopias, messianic impulses, obscure millenarianisms.
