The day of Sunday, July 21, will be dedicated to the film Mozzarella Stories, which will be screened in the presence of the director Edoardo De Angelis and the cast, including the actors Massimiliano Gallo, Giovanni Esposito and Massimiliano Rossi at 21:30 at the Arena Don Tonino Bello Villa Europa in San Vito dei Normanni. The film is about Ciccio DOP, absolute lord of an empire based on the production of mozzarella cheese. After years of unchallenged rule, he is facing an unprecedented crisis that sees him fall into a market war against mysterious Chinese businessmen. The latter, in fact, have suddenly invaded supermarkets and restaurants with a high quality mozzarella, excellent flavor, and especially at half price ... Before  the very real risk of ending up ruined, Ciccio DOP reacts and his the reaction triggers a series of events with which his daughter Sofia (Luisa Ranieri), a charming and charismatic woman, the crooner Angelo Tatangelo (Massimiliano Gallo) and former champion water polo Dudo (Massimiliano Rossi) will have to deal.  Disturbing Mastu Pascale’s complicated demands,    Gravinio’s violence and lethal madness , Gigino a'Purpetta (Giovanni Esposito)’s melodramatic madness fill the horizon. In the most difficult time, however, the polished Accounting (Andrea Renzi) will offer a series of excellent advice, while a wise and  enigmatic Chinese masseuse in Sofia will show the way to Sofia to be able to create something from nothing and get to where no woman had ever accomplished before her. Followed by a screening of Fisico da spiaggia, a short film also directed by Edoardo De Angelis and starring Nicola Nocella;  and another short film, Bisesto, directed by Giovanni Esposito and Francesco Prisco.
