Italian w/English subtitles. Albakiara is the nickname of Chiara, whose angelic face makes her seem like the perfect little girl everyone wants as their daughter...but looks deceive. Chiara is in high school, though, unlike Albachiara, she has no use for it. Her ignorance is endless, and she manages to move on to the next grade only by cheating and copying. What she does study is her "look", paying attention to the latest fashions. She loves being the center of attention... And she simply adores the "gangster evenings" (as she calls them) spent with her girlfriends in pursuit of sex and drugs and rock 'n roll! "In lesser skilled hands this would have been an easily forgotten film, two-dimensional and silly. ALBAKIARA is a lot more than that....So...coming-of-age-bad cop-crime-thriller-mafia-gangster-dysfunctional family-rock'n'roll-sex comedy-drama?...yes, all of the above, but not really for teens or kids. An adult tale that will take you a while to figure out what to take away from it." -- Cynthia Kane, On Demand Weekly
