imagine if somebody took a camera a began filming your everyday life, and I mean every single thing you do. How interesting would that be? Quite boring actually because you have to be somebody like Britney Spears in order never to have a dull moment. Anyhow, this movie was filmed in a very voyeuristic sort of way for more reasons than one. And the lurking camera feel gets unnerving at times.
Firstly, it's based on the true life story of a Mob wife named Angela and the occurrences in her life. So naturally, the story is told in a very raw manner, delving into Angela's story and showing why things went awry. Angela plays a very pivotal part in the life of her husband (an older and somewhat wiser man) who also happens to be a drug dealer. Together in their little shoe shop, they run their drug ring under the pretense of delivering brand new shoes to customers. Because Angela is a woman, she is able to roam the streets of Italy freely without being stopped by police and so she is the main delivery woman, carrying and spreading drugs around the corrupt city. Little does she know that she is under police surveillance which becomes the biggest hindrance in her life as the film later reveals. If the police has been taping everything about Angela, imagine all what they'll know about her.
Sooner than later, Angela becomes restless and tired of the drug trade and brings this up with her husband who in turn placates her by assuring her that everything will be alright. A few days later, he hires a young and handsome new guy into their business and the sparks between this new face and Angela are as instant as they are apparent and before either one of them knows it, they embark on an ill-fated lust-filled relationship that is also being taped by the police. You can only imagine what they will do with the evidence.
