A midnight sun affair

Torna a Surriento Carmine Esposito, a street-smart Neapolitan, lives a reckless life in Naples with his best friends, Antonio and Enzo. When Carmine learns that his estranged older brother, Salvatore, has died in northern Finland and left him a house, he initially dismisses it—until his mounting debts force him to consider the inheritance. But there’s a catch: to claim the property, he must live in it for two months. Reluctantly, Carmine and his friends travel to the isolated Sami territories of Finland. Upon arrival, they clash with the unfamiliar culture, locals, and brutal climate. They soon cross paths with Maren Elle, a young Sami woman, and her aunt Sunná, who was Salvatore’s partner. Carmine quickly becomes intrigued by Maren Elle, while Sunná harbors suspicions about Salvatore’s death—doubting the official ruling that it was an accident. As Carmine settles into his brother’s home, he unearths painful memories and unresolved emotions about their relationship. Meanwhile, the trio of Neapolitans struggle to adapt, getting into comedic and dangerous situations, including a botched drug deal and conflicts with local reindeer herders. The deeper Carmine digs into Salvatore’s past, the more he suspects his brother’s death wasn’t accidental. Carmine’s journey transforms from a quick-money scheme into a quest for the truth. But as he gets closer to unraveling the mystery, he must also confront his own past, redefine his relationships, and decide if he is ready to leave behind the only life he has ever known. A mix of crime, drama, and culture-clash comedy, Torna a Surriento is a story about brotherhood, loss, and unexpected second chances.
