Thank You, Padre Pio! (2001)

"Porcheria"

Gigione goes on tour and Jo Donatello, who would like to go with his father, is forced to stay at home. Walking through the city he meets a friend with two young girls, one of whom obviously has to go to Donatello, who enchants her with the most boring and rhetorical saccharine love song. However, the girl is worried about "all those people who fight for freedom", so Donatello offers to be a driver in a series of clandestine races that we do not have the pleasure of seeing. Overseeing the entire operation is Don Franco, a sinister man with a Camorra streak who takes the young lover under his wing. Returning from the triumphant series of concerts Gigione discovers that Donatello is involved in a bad circle, and after an inconclusive confrontation with Don Franco, he thinks it would be a good idea to go on a pilgrimage to San Giovanni Rotondo to ask for mercy from Padre Pio.
