DIRECTORS' NOTES:     FCo

Francesco Costabile, born in Cosenza, attended the University of Bologna. In 2001 he made his first short, La sua gamba, and in 2006, his film Dentro Roma won the Nastro d'argento award for best short.

Regarding The Code of Silence, his first feature film, Costabile said: "The concept didn’t come from a peculiar real character but was rather inspired by the many stories in the book. Rosa embodies the multitude of women and voices in the book, summarizing all of these dramatic experiences.All the women that had the courage to break their blood tie and the codes of the ‘Ndrangheta."
