Suburra is a 2015 Italian neo-noir mafia thriller film directed by Stefano Sollima, based on the 2013 novel of the same name by Carlo Bonini and Giancarlo De Cataldo. The movie was financed by Netflix and RAI. It stars Pierfrancesco Favino, Elio Germano and Claudio Amendola, and focuses on the connections between organized crime and politics in Rome in 2011.
In 2017, Netflix released a prequel to the film in the form of a television series, Suburra: Blood on Rome, set in 2008 and leading up to the events of the film.
Suburra was the name of a suburb of Ancient Rome.
Filippo Malgradi is an Italian MP who is currently involved in a bill to change the classification of certain administrative areas; his objective is to allow a real estate project in Ostia so that it could be turned into a Las Vegas-like city. He has close relations with a local crime boss—known as "Samurai", a former right-wing terrorist turned criminal under the cover of an unsuspecting pump station owner—who also has very deep interests in the real estate project. Samurai has privileged ties to the Vatican Bank, who will finance the project and profit immensely from it.
One evening, Filippo goes into a hotel room with two prostitutes, Sabrina and Jelena, who is underage, to engage in a "sex and drugs" party. The underage girl dies from intoxication, and Filippo and Sabrina have to dispose of the body. Filippo runs away, and Sabrina calls a Gypsy friend, Alberto Anacleti, known as Dagger, to help her get rid of the body. They decide to throw the body into an artificial lake.
