Infernet is a 2016 Italian drama film. The screenplay was written by Giuseppe Ferlito, who also directed the film. It stars Roberto Farnesi, Remo Girone, Ricky Tognazzi, Elisabetta Pellini, Laura Adriani, Giorgia Marin, and Andrea Montovoli.
Infernet depicts the addiction to the internet and the consequences of a distorted use of it. It manifests in many ways, such as the addiction to social networks, games and pornography.
The film portrays several persons who are all connected to a distorted use of the web in different ways: Don Luciano (Remo Girone) is a priest who is persecuted by a group of bullies who use the internet to question his morality. Giorgio (Ricky Tognazzi) is a man (husband of Martina (Daniela Poggi)) who is affected by gambling addiction.
Claudio (Roberto Farnesi) is a totally amoral actor and his fiancée, Arianna, is played by Elisabetta Pellini.
Nancy (Giorgia Marin) is a teenager who uses the internet as a showcase to whore herself and then blackmail her clients by telling them she's under 18 and forcing them to pay money to keep quiet.
Giada (Laura Adriani) is a teenager who is in love with Claudio, the actor. She's the girlfriend of Ludovico (Viorel Mitu), the leader of the gang of bullies; Sandro (Leonardo Borgognoni) is the gang's hacker.
