Gorbaciof lives in Naples, and his daily movements are concentrated to the area surrounding the Poggioreale prison, where he works as a cashier. The city is portrayed as cold and grey, and we don’t see many of its distinguishing features. We see him at the Centro Direzionale and Capodichino Airport. He stops to reflect in the Church of San Severo alla Sanità, in Piazzetta San Severo in Capodimonte, and has a confrontation with the lawyer he has a gambling debt with at Castel Capuano, which is the Palace of Justice in the film.

Marino Pacileo ‘Gorbaciof’, the cashier for Poggioreale prison, has a passion for gambling. When he discovers that the father of Lila, the young Chinese girl he’s fallen in love with, cannot pay off his debts, Pacileo takes money from the coffers of the prison to give to the girl.
