Trailer
Black Sun is based on a play, by Rocco Familiari. It is inspired by true events that took place twenty years ago in Catania, Sicily.
Agata and Manfredi are young and in love. However, their happiness ends in a brutal way, when Manfredi is killed by a drug addict. When Agata finally overcomes her shock, she feels an overwhelming urge to find the killer and avenge her lover. She puts no stock in the judiciary system, which demonstrates leniency and passiveness. She is horrified to learn from the police that the killer might be released after serving only 7 or 8 years, thanks to amnesty and reduction of sentence. Therefore, she wants justice served, in her own way. One day, she finds the killer and starts to seduce him, step by step...
It is a film about love and crime, hatred and forgiveness and the dynamics between good and evil...
