A journey between the sacred and profane in which the femminielli, an ancient non-binary Neapolitan figure, fight for their survival against the globalizing tides of modernity.

A journey between the sacred and profane in which the femminielli, an ancient non-binary Neapolitan figure, fight for their survival against the globalizing tides of modernity. It is in their dualism, both physical and psychological, that the femminielli, an ancient non-binary Neapolitan figure, live their daily lives. Strongly integrated into the social fabric, they represent a spiritual point of reference for the community. Amidst changing social models, many secular traditions tied to this figure, like the Marriage of the femminielli, the Birth Giving ceremony or the Pilgrimage to Montevergine, still survive.
