In this epic prequel to the iconic Godfather trilogy, it explores the rise of Vito Corleone, the legendary mob boss, from his humble beginnings to the pinnacle of power and founding of the Corleone family. When Vito was young, he lived in Sicily under his original name Vito Andollini, but as is customary in Sicily, one day his father fell out with the local mafia and got into a cross with the rule of Vendetta - and tasted the cartridges of the lupara's sawed-off shotgun. And because the local mafia was afraid that Vito would not want revenge when he was an adult, they decided to kill his other family members as well. And so Vito sailed to the USA and changed his name to Corleone after his home town. In the States, Vito ranked as a good, hardworking man with a sense for others. One day he meets his future business partners when they were stealing the carpet as thieves, they hid at his house. Vito later got to know them better, and together they decided to start a company to trade in olives. And he soon began to prosper. Vito Corleone sometimes helped himself a little illegally. At that time, the Fanucci mafia lived in the vicinity of Vito's house, who took the local Italian quarter as his territory and demanded income from every business - whoever refused had problems with his people. And that's why one day Vito Corleone waited for Fanucci and killed him in the dark streets of the city. Later he learned something he didn't expect - first Santino's son saw him doing it.
