Netflix’s “My Name Is Vendetta” or “Il Mio Nome è Vendetta”, written and directed by Cosimo Gomez, is an Italian crime thriller that follows the seemingly regular and ordinary life of Santa and his family until his daughter Sofia. She secretly clicks his photo and posts it on social media.
Given the boundless networks of social media, a post is enough to change Santa’s family’s life forever, as two criminals with ties to his past break into his house and kill his wife and brother-in-law to settle an old score.
Sofia discovers that Santo is hiding dark secrets from his past. He was a member of the N’drangheta, which finally returned to him after several years. Now that the truth is out in the open, the 2 want revenge. So Sofia trains under Santa and they flee to the enemies’ lair to get revenge.
