Three point six is the heroin formula. This drug transformed the multi-ethnic district of San Salvario, in the center of Turin, into a powder keg always on the verge of exploding. The organized crime controls prostitution and drug dealing, and governs the lives of the inhabitants whose stories are intertwined. Two friends, Silvio and Dante, close to each other since childhood, one a corrupt policeman, the other a criminal, are doing business together while they are divided by love for the same woman.

Declaration
film director
“When Luca Aimeri, the movie's co-screenwriter, and I wrote the film's scenario, the noir side came out almost automatically. Both of us like American film, genre cinema par excellence, and we also both love noir literature. We wanted to make a movie that we'd like to go see. In Italy, it's as though the rules of market and the prevailing taste had ended up limiting productions to comedies, because they make people laugh, and “art house” movies, because they make people think. But more and more people feel the need to recount and see simple everyday stories, set in the midst of cowboys, exhibits, policemen, or knights.”
