As he sinks into the waters of Naples, Ciro sees his past resurfacing in the darkness.
It's a spin-off of the successful Italian series 'Gomorrah', about the mafia, so in order to really appreciate all the details and information you should at least know the main plot of the story (a better known example is 'El Camino' and the relation with 'Breaking Bad').
As a stand alone film, the story has a good base, with the typical subjects of a crime/mafia thriller, with betrayals and plot twists, for example. The cinematography is interesting, with good parallels between flashbacks and scenes in the present time, and a good character development, filling the gaps left by the previous seasons of the tv show.
The modern Italian cinema genre has its ups and downs nowadays, with 'L'immortale' being a film cinema for the masses, but well thought out and well structured, not a messy one.
