Up to the neck – The Life of Pietro Puzone: Plot

The documentary tells the life of Pietro Punzone from the beginning, when he was just a territorial player, to detoxification and escape from the clinic.

The hero’s life reached its climax when he became one of the players who won the first Scudetto for Naples with Maradona.

The two had a special bond, and there were many things that united them: long nights of festivities, drugs and also the fact that Pietro was important in the Naples crime of being linked to President Mario de Sina. After the Scudetto’s victory, the bond between the two grew stronger and stronger which led to him losing Beira, the only woman he’d ever loved.

Calcio Napoli decided at one point to sell Pietro to Catania but Diego pressured him first to keep him and then to secure another important participation for him.
