Where it was filmed 'A Ciambra'

Pio and his family, who play themselves in the film, live in Ciambra, a community of Romani gypsies that really exists near Gioia Tauro (RC). The camp is the main location in the film.

Pio is a teenager in a hurry to grow up even though his family still treats him like a child. He’s friends with Ayiva, thanks to whom he is welcomed into the local African community with open arms. It is Ayiva who accompanies Pio to Rosarno to flog a tablet he stole from a train just as it was leaving.

Sono scenes in the film were filmed on Mount Pollino, whilst Senise (PZ), in the area near the dam of Mount Cotugno, was the setting for the prologue to the film, which recounts the exodus from Slovenia of the Romani community that now lives on the plain of Gioia Tauro, using their traditional clothing, wagons and horses to reconstruct the camp.

Plot

Ciambra, a small community of Romani gypsies near Gioia Tauro, is home to Pio, a 14-year-old boy who acts like an adult: he drinks, smokes, commits petty crime and is capable of mixing with Italians, Africans and other Romani gypsies. When his father and brother are arrested, it is up to him to look after his family and decide whether he’s really ready to become a man.
