Ginostra Plot Summary

What happens in Ginostra from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

On a remote island, Benson [Harvey Keitel] is entrusted with protecting an 11-year-old boy whose father had appealed for protection in exchange for testifying against a local mobster, Manzella [Maurizio Nicolosi]. The film’s style is deliberately ambiguous, and crucial details emerge mainly through dialogue between the characters, so much of what happens only becomes clear after later scenes unfold. The island’s remoteness and the boy’s fragile trust set the tone for a tense drama that blends restraint with mounting danger.
