Toxic Love
Cesare and Michela are a young couple caught in a cycle of heroin addiction, alongside a group of friends living on the margins of Ostia and Rome. Their days revolve around finding money for their next dose through petty crime, begging, and prostitution. Although they repeatedly talk about quitting, their dependence makes escape increasingly difficult. After deciding to take one final dose, Michela suffers a severe overdose and is taken to the hospital by Cesare. Overcome by despair, he returns to the place where she collapsed and injects himself again. He survives the dose but is pursued by two plain-clothes police officers and ultimately shot and killed.
