Synopsis of La puerta de los infiernos

In 'The Door to Hell,' Laurent Gaudé introduces us to Matteo, a Neapolitan taxi driver whose life crumbles after the tragic death of his son. Consumed by grief, Matteo wanders through the city until he meets a group of marginal characters who tell him about a door to hell in Naples.
