The director Francesco Patierno, using some of the epic films (Istituto Luce Cinecittà, National Archives and Records Administration, Imperial War Museum, Getty Images) mixed with movies such as Liliana Cavani's The Skin and Nanny Loy's Four Days in Naples relives the atmosphere of desperate but living Naples in the immediate aftermath of the postwar period.

Un viaggio in un secolo di film sulla Napoli criminale, attraverso i racconti dei protagonisti e immagini inedite. La città di Napoli nell’immaginario collettivo sorride, piange e spara. Un fascino che atterrisce, tanto che il volto contraddittorio della metropoli campana si riflette anche sul grande schermo, ispirando storie drammatiche e avvincenti. Proprio da questo nasce Napoli calibro 35 mm, dal cinema delle origini a Gomorra a cura di Paolo Spagnuolo e Paolo Speranza e con la prefazione di Steve Della Casa.
