Synopsis

Our take

Starring Valeria Solarino alongside a nonprofessional cast, this independently made film bravely captures the stark reality of growing old on the fringes of society and without a future. Scored by Naples reggae band 99 Posse, Chemical Hunger is a resonant tale of friendship and youthful escapism.
