Pippo Mezzapesa

Región de Apulia. Quemado por el sol y por el odio, el promontorio de Gargano es disputado por criminales que parecen venir de un pasado remoto regido por la ley de la jungla. Una tierra arcaica que recuerda al Lejano Oeste, en la que la sangre se lava con sangre. Una vieja enemistad entre dos familias rivales se reaviva por un amor prohibido: el de Andrea, heredero a regañadientes de los Malatesta, y Marilena, bella esposa del jefe del clan Camporeale. Una pasión fatal que vuelve a poner en guerra a los dos clanes. Pero Marilena, desterrada del Camporeale y prisionera de la Malatesta, disputada y maltratada, se opondrá a un destino ya escrito con fuerza de madre.

In the shadow of earthquakes which have devastated several parts of Italy, this poignant tale is centered around the last remaining inhabitant of a town destroyed by this natural disaster. Elia (Sergio Rubini) has no intention of leaving his ghost town of Providence which was struck by an earthquake years earlier. While he spends his days in the company of the memories of his wife and his idyllic past life, the rest of the population has moved downstream into the new community housing. Every so often, someone comes to visit him: the local teacher, his friend Gesualdo, and the mayor. But it is a different and wholly unexpected presence which begins to turn Elia’s solitary life upside-down.

The friendship between two Southern Italy kids is tested by their meeting with a young girl who's attempted suicide after failing to get married. Based on the novel "Il paese delle spose infelici" (literally, "Village of the Sad Brides", which is also the original title of this film) this elegantly photographed coming-of-age tale has sensitivity to spare but its stylish, yet understated, attitude doesn't easily win viewers over.
